Dooks All! I have one word to say concerning any "ferret" odors......FEBREEZE!!!!!!! It is safe to use around animals as it states on the bottle and is supported by the ASPCA. While my hubby bathes our babies I change their blankets (they love getting clean bedding once a week....they love to drag it around to "get it dirty enough" before they sleep on it) and febreeze the furnature and carpets....in case of accidents! Trust me, with 2 kids, 3 carpet sharks, 3 cats, and a husband ..I know what works! Also..I use cut up sheets, old cut up baby clothes (they love the terry cloth ones), and baby recieving blankets for the furrys bedding. They love it, its cheap to come by at yard sales and such and if you stockpile you can change the bedding often. Dont give up on your babies yet....they need you! Love to all, Missy & the Gang [Posted in FML issue 3363]
