i got a ferret yesterday :) but she keeps on scratching at the carpet when the door is open. is there a way to break this habit before i need to get new carpet? are there any ideas on how i can not let her eat some of the cords and cables in my room? if anyone out there has other pets w/their ferrets, how do they react? i have a shih tzu and a cat.. they both smell the ferret but i am so scared my dog will try to nip the ferret.. (the ferret is in the cage, the dog is out trying to figure out what the little furball is).. any other new ferret advice will be appreciated!! 'ferrets for dummies' is a great book, BTW!! :) thank you to those of you who recommended it to me!! brandie ~*~#~*~ In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: It goes on. -Robert Frost [Posted in FML issue 3674]
