There have been a couple of references to *Vellux* blankets being used for ferret bedding, hammys, etc. My experience with Vellux goes waaaaaaaaaayy back, and those blankets had a foam rubber?? type of inner layer. Since my Parris seems to think it necessary to find out what is in the middle of her blankies from time to time, I think that might be a problem should she decide it also needed to pass the taste test. Perhaps the newer blankets are made of different and safer material. For those making hammys and blankies, please don't take this as a flame. It is meant only as a warning to protect the innocent. How would we know if someone didn't tell us? In Touch, Ardith mailto:[log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 3895]
