>I personally would not want to buy anything from anyone if I was afraid >there was a chance of ADV contamination either. i would like to add my personal experience with this... the ADV+ homes that i have knowledge of that make and sell bedding... do so very responsibly... they make sure there is no chance of contamination... they take thorough sanitation proceedures before going to work on and/or mail out any bedding... ADV is serious business to those with adv kids...they would never jeopardize innocent ferrets by taking any chances with sending out bedding that was not completely safe... yes...i have asked them about it before i accepted anything...i too want to be sure...if you have a question about the person who makes the bedding...ASK them what precautions they take... i just want to emphasize...they care for the safety of your ferrets as much as you do...THEY take the precautions seriously...after all...they are going thru adv in their lives...they don't want any more ferrets to have to go thru it... love, kat ===== KITY=^..^=KAT and the Kollektive [18] http://www.geocities.com/ferretlover97 In Memory of...White Russian...who lost his fight with ADV on May 8, 2002 Missing pieces of my heart...Marcel, LittleWhiteGirl, Narmy, OldGuy, D'weezle, Pye, Sandi, Jack, and the biggest pieces of my heart...Sonny, Charlie and Geezer! ...Keeping in memory...Dweezil, Opie, Tunees & Lil Bear...
