to use the borax, to get of ants, I believe it is 1 cup of borax and 1 c of sugar wear gloves mix throughly, put where the ants are coming in, they will take it back to the nest, it will kill them. keep it away from the Ferrets! My ferrets love to eat soap too, Kodiak (missing him) loved to eat the bath bubbles (dish soap) The other day we were invited over to a friend's house for dinner and we took Ben and Blaze with us. Blaze started chuckling for the first time. I was so shocked, she is partly deaf since she is a panda and for the first year all she did was hiss. She is wardancing all over the place. Ben is finally following us around he learning to be held. We went to Home Hardware yesterday, (picking up some veggies seeds) picked up a small swimming pool for the ferrets, which was 8.99 marked down to 6.99. Also Congrats to the new shelter, Tara and The Ferret House. I have already signed up for the newsletter. Marie and her 9 Most Wonderful Fur Kidlets [Posted in FML issue 3464]
