Hello ferrety folks, :) I'm looking to adopt another fert to be companion with my Seiko. He's almost 6 months old now and I'm wanting to get a young one (1 year or less) but not as young as the pet shop babies. I reside in Southern Indiana, close to Louisville, KY and I've checked with the shelters there and no luck. Does anyone know of any other shelters closeby I could possibly adopt a fert from? I would be willing to travel up to 300 miles to adopt, but I can't seem to find any places... About door scratching..I posted a while back that Seiko would not/could not stop scratching the door (not the carpet, but the door) and so a few people suggested applying sand paper at the bottom. It did absolutely no good, lol. He's still a' scratchin'. In fact, he ripped it off the door, tape and all, so then I glued it down..still no good. Does anyone have any other ideas? He's very well behaved outside of the door scratching. I was thinking about putting a plexi-glass gate there, but I can't afford a Weezl Watchr gate at the moment. Does anyone know how to make them or have plans for building one? I'd appreciate any info/ideas/help. Thanks in advance peeps! :) Linda + Seiko Linder- http://www26.brinkster.com/udream http://www33.brinkster.com/fatchicksrule/frames.html [Posted in FML issue 4083]
