Hello.... I'm a new ferret owner [it's been almost TWO weeks now!!] and I have a couple of questions that I was hoping someone here on the list might be able to help me with. First, I was wondering what is the best kind of litter to use in Oscar's [his full name is Oscar T (for TROUBLE!!) Wigglebum!!...sorry....I digress... but the name suits him PERFECTLY!! ;-) litter pan. The stuff I'm using now seems to be slightly dusty and I was wondering if this is something that I should be concerned with or if it's okay. As well.... sometimes after he uses it I have noticed that he has some of the litter stuck right onto his bum. Is this normal?? My second question is regarding flea treatments. I was wondering if it's okay to use flea drops that you can purchase from pet stores oposed to something like Advantage?? I would *really* appreciate any and all help that anyone can offer me. Oscar is such a sweetheart and I only want to do what is best for him! Any other tips or advice are also always welcomed! Thanks again! Dixie & Oscar T. Wigglebum [Posted in FML issue 3456]
