Someone asked about foot-biting ferrets. Out of our crew of 7, Arthur (AKA Farty Pants) is the only one who really likes feet, yet he doesnt bite under any other situation. What we did was bought a dog toy that is a foot (complete with "painted" nails!). We put a sock on the foot and tied a knot so the foot doesnt come out. Watching him tow the foot behind him whereever he goes is priceless. He even carries it upstairs in the cage with him when he's ready for bed and he sleeps with it. Now, onto the second topic. I posted a couple weeks ago about Peanut who is emaciated and we have been trying to nurse him back to health on our own, but I think we need help now. So I am taking Peanut to the vet this morning to get looked over. I'm hoping to have some fluids put in him and get an appetite stimulant. Peanut came to a shelter b/c his owner asked her neighbor to watch her ferrets for a few hours and then never came back. Isnt that sweet? :( Anyway, wish us luck today.
