Two of the rooms where the ferrets spend part of their time have linoleum floors which are chilly, so I bought a whole bunch of rug samples for them to walk on (50 cents each) . They were an instant hit. They love to dig on them. Since I don't have carpeting anywhere in my house, I don't care if they get in the habit of digging carpeting. Makes a great toy as well as warming up the floor. Lunessa, who has an odd biting compulsion from time to time, plays very selectively. She likes the dryer tube, and she liked chewing on a leather strap when she was visiting last time I went away. However, I don't let her chew stuff like that because she might swallow it etc. She also took a liking to some plastic bubble wrap that some of Ela's delightful soaps had been wrapped in. Not sure if she liked the smell or just the plastic, but she liked chewing on the bubble wrap (you know how much fun it is to pop that stuff). Again, not something I let her do because she might swallow it. So I am looking for something chewable for her. Haven't tried cheweasels yet, but that might be a good Christmas present for her. She is my little odd child, can't quite put my finger on it, but the thought of someone hitting her breaks my heart. There is something about her that is very sad and not quite right, which makes her all the more loveable. Ronnie [Posted in FML issue 3265]
