Feet digging: means you're as wonderful as dirt! Or maybe they want you to move over, quit hogging the covers, or get up. ferretproofing beds: the only sure fire way I've found that keeps ferrets out of the bed springs is to use 1/4" thick plywood to enclose the frame. Be sure to cut the side pieces long enough to touch the wall at the head of the bed. You'll also have to cut a piece to put under the box springs at the head of the bed (should also touch the wall. This keeps them from pooping where it's difficult to clean as well. You can just put plywood under the box springs. Really determined ferrets witll eventually pull most material coverings loose. Night stalkers: Be sure to doublecheck your ferretproofing in the room before going to bed every night. (You'll sleep easier.) Night stalkers should not have access to more than the room you're in. Turn the air conditioning cooler and wear sweats & heavy socks. Ignore the bed sharks as long as possible. When you can't stand anymore, scruff, scold, & drag them by the scruff, then put them down on the floor. They want your attention. If biting you doesn't get your attention, they'll eventually give up. (Could take a couple of weeks, though.) [Posted in FML issue 3460]
