Well, got the nails on one of Monty's paws clipped, just 3 to go. Not too easy a task when your out of ferretone! (mental note: buy more before he goes on strike!) his nails were VERY long, looks like they wern't clippen for quite a while before I got him. He's scarred and crys the whole time. He's pretty goodthough, and doesn't bite too much. Both my babies are in their "cages" Monty because he tried to drag my son into his little hidey hole. (He was gental, but dont want him to think that biting the baby is ok, even gental. And my son's down early for his nap for having attitude! I swear he thinks he's a teenager. I tell him to give monty some space and come here, he rolls his eyes and does this really defiant body gesture! He's down for his nap now, but Monty can come back out when he wants to (put me in a cage will you, I'll show you, I'll have a NAP!) lol. Thank you for the advice about attacking the cage, and whoever it was who suggested that I use a water gun and squirt him, THANKS A LOT!!!! (sarcastic) thanks to you I have a wild water lovin fert on my hands who finds the little toy, drags it to me and war dances like a nutball until I give him a little squirt! LMAO. amanda and the amazing Montabello ferrtet. "Have you lost your mind? Better check your ferrets hidey hole!" href="http://www.homestead.com/revelationstoday/rev1.html [Posted in FML issue 3696]
