G.A. Christian made a very good point this morning in their post. I have only really heard about most plants being poisonous to ferrets and never really considered that rose petals might actually be HEALTHY. LOL! I don't have ANY plants in my apartment (I figured why make the worry when I can avoid it all together??LOL) , so my first instinct was to panic that the petals would be poisonous. Dante seems fine with the exception that he didn't really care for the TEXTURE of the petals around his nose but he sure did love laying in them. The comment about "I know they were very bad" was pretty much unfounded and written in a state of panic. I really didn't think when I wrote the comment that I would make anyone nervous... and it wasn't my intention; however, I know when I make a mistake and am happy to admit it when it happens. I don't have any true scientific resources saying they are bad or good, but a couple of people wrote me yesterday and said their ferrets loved to play in them and such, so my guess is really *whew* they can't be that bad. So my apologies for writing that comment unfounded... Sue Dante (Ma! Froot Loops! Now! C'Mon!) Toby (the Patriot player who DIDN'T disappear) and Paul (Blind? Deaf? Old? What's that? No, really?)
