I wanted to try the rice box thing for Tank, but didn't want to throw out a lot of rice in case he didn't take to it. So I tried something else: I bought one of those plastic filing boxes, the kind that take either 11" or 14" hanging folders, and have a hinged lid. I filled it with sunflower seed, which we have for the birds. Well, Tank didn't care for it. I guess he's just not the digging type (except for carpet). So now I have some bird seed and a file box. No harm done. -- Joyce & Tank Me: http://www.doctorbeer.com The ferrets: http://www.doctorbeer.com/joyce/ferrets/petferts.htm Ferrets in Art History: http://www.doctorbeer.com/joyce/ferrets/frhistpg.htm [Posted in FML issue 3386]
