>I have a deodorizer spray called "Natural Magic" it is non scented and >breaks down the sulfur bonds that causes odors. I am always careful to >never spray directly on ferts or around food/water ect..." Hello all, I know that the use of deodorizers doesn't seem like a potential hazard and this is not a bash at those who use them BUT these products can possibly cause respiratory distress. What smells nice to us could be toxic, a case in point, FABREEZE , a known killer of small birds such as finches, doves & button quail. Now I know that birds and ferrets are in different orders but it's not worth the gamble. Many Bird lovers didn't know of this hazzard until after the damage was done . The person who wrote the original message has it righ on many points , cleaning our critters, cleaning their bedding and cleaning the litter, Also there might be a link with clay litters and respiratory distress but at this point the research is not complete.. Be careful, and give your weasels a big hug , I know I will.... Weasel (mark) [Posted in FML issue 4066]
