First and foremost, I would like to thank everyone for all their insightful information. I am extremely excited for the weekend so I can set up my new cage!!! (I recently purchased one on the internet and it should be here today!) I am doing it all in SpongeBob SquarePants I love that show, but they need a fert instead of Sandy the Squirrel, now there's a letter to be written! All I need to find now is a SB fleece blanket for them. I tried to bid on one on eBay, but it just got too spendy. I think I might test my craftiness and try to make my own. I have never tried to water my ferts from a dish until last night. While they were out, I put a large bowl of water on the floor with them (and a large bath towel underneath it). To my surprise, neither one tipped it or wanted to "play" in it (although tubby Daisy, while trying to put skinny Silly in a headlock, accidentally put most of her hind-end in it). Also, and I think I may have heard about this from another FMLer, Daisy makes little dooking sounds while she drinks! It is SOOOOOO cute! OOOH! And before I forget to mention it, and if anyone remembers my dilemma a while back, the local ferret shelter finally got my letter!! They called me last night and I will be getting in touch with them this afternoon. I am so excited to get started volunteering! One thing that they need for me to do is transport ferrets from a local HS and taking them to the shelter. I think that could be really fun. And once I get their, IT'S PLAYTIME! Thanks for listenin'! Nicole, Silly Girl and Daisy Dooks!! [Posted in FML issue 3870]
