My little girl white rat (yes a ferret) never drank from a bowl. She would ALWAYS spill it onto the floor and then drink. In four years I never once saw her drink directly from a bowl. Todd said something about waiting a week or so to name his latest additions. Todd did you notice the name above? Don't wait to long or you might end up with a stupid name like that. I just kept waiting for that perfect name to appear also. It never did, hence the name, of what she looked like when I brought her little DEW self home, "white rat"! Have a great day, Mary Jo [Posted in FML issue 4173]
