Hello fellow ferret lovers! My name is Meghan Gwalchmai, Im a 3rd year university student at Acadia University in Nova Scotia Canada. I am also a ferret mom! I got "Rascal" about a year ago from a friend of mine who was going far away to continue his education. I had known her for years before that. Shes about 5 years old, and shes just the cutest thing on the planet. I think ferrets are the best thing since sliced bread.. :c) Ive been having a bit of trouble littertraining her though, but i picked up some advice from the list, that I think im going to try. I also have a bit of trouble with her smell. It doesnt really bother me, im not the most houseproud person out there (is any university student??) but my roomates dont like it. I was just wondering how often i should bathe her? And if theres anything in her diet I should change.. she eats regular iams kitten food..(should i change that too? its what he fed her..) I find that the smell lingers most in her bedding, so ive tried changing that as often as i can.. I have this stuff called "ferret-off" thats like a daily perfume spray.. is there anything else out there that works better? Any advice would help. I dont find the smell that bad, but i woud like to try something, in order to be able to keep my rasc'! Another thing... I would love to get another ferret for her to play with!! Im in classes mostof the day, and I feel bad with her puttering around all by herself in my room. Im just worrid that maybe shes too old. She hasnt been around other ferrets since she left her breeder years ago! I dont want to get one, and then the two of them kill each other or something. What do you all suggest? I know from reading your stories of 3, 4, 6+ ferrets...more is merrier! But Rascal is my #1 and i just want her to be happy! :c( Thanks! Meg and Rascaaaal the trubbamaker. [Posted in FML issue 3377]
