As a ferret owner I'm sure we've all become used to the typical questions of those not familiar with these wonderful animals. Is that a rat?! What kind of dog is that? Do they bite? Do they really smell as bad as I've heard? etc... Today I had to pass on the cutest "new" one that came from a 5 year old at the park today. He asked the usual questions- what is it, does it bite, can I pet it... then he asked what she eats. I told him she eats kitten food and he got this shocked look and said, " She doesn't eat Koala food!?" I have to say I have never had anyone make the connection to a koala and found it pretty amusing. Made my first hammie last night... Wasn't as easy as I thought doing it freehand. My son found some spongebob squarepants fabric though and some really soft fabric (forget what it is, it's used on infant pajamas though- real soft on one side..) and he wanted me to make one for her. I've made a lot of stuff before, but just guessed to make this. Anyone have specific measurements/sewing suggestions I could use if I ever want to make another one? I used snaps on this one and they seem to be working OK, but I wasn't sure if there was something else that worked better??? I thought about velcro... Still looking for another ferret for Kiki. If anyone lives near Indianapolis and knows a ferret needing a home email me. (... we're so eager to get another we've already decided on a name... Minky Boodle ~it's a space ghost/brak thing..)
