I didn't know that! Ferrets will not be affected by salmonella in raw chickens? I had no idea! As the saying goes 'This Changes Everything'! I'd have to look for a butcher to grind it for me though, because I'm not about to repeat THAT experience again! My only question about feeding chickens from the store to ferrets is that they are come in the de-feathered version only. Aren't the feathers an essential part of the package? Wayne asks if we (Americans) only keep ferrets as pets? Only because there aren't enough 'entertainments industry' jobs to go around! Would the ferret have the equivelent of a SAG card, only for concert workers? Oh, oh, oh, Kouri wants one of those! Georgia - the left coast one... [Posted in FML issue 3318]
