This is in reference to the "food smells" of the ferret. I laughed when I read about people's ferrets smelling like chicken nuggets, grape jelly, and popcorn because when I smell my little Othella, she smells like a little Corn chip. I call her "corn chip" affectionately. I nick named my other ferret Liam "gym sock". That brings an awful smell to all your minds, but no matter how much I wash him he smells like that...i don't care, I still give him a little kiss. check out our new web site: http://www.members.tripod.com/throughthetube/ peace, Julia and the spiteful ferrets: Othella, Liam, Willow, and Garcia [Posted in FML issue 3545]
