My Mother subscribes to the FML, and always lets me know all the letters on your Newsletter. Years of owning ferrets has trained us in many of their habbits. Einstein, Franklin, Glory, Harmony, Inspiration, Jung, Kipling, Lightheart, Mercy, Newton, Ohm, and Patience, have trained us in Ferret proofing, pooping and ooping. One product we are very grateful for is the PetsMart Super Absorbent 4-ply plastic backed towels "OOPS". They use it, it is easy to pick up messes, can be doubled for extra absorbancy, protects the floors, and I don't have to get my hands goopy. Plus, none of my fuzzies have ever shown any type of alergy to this product. Just thought for all those having trouble with wood chips and other litter products,(thats why it's called litter, it litters the floor). It might be a simple solution. Good Luck....
