Hi and thanks to all who gave me advise and ideas on how to keep my babies cool. I am dipping into the ferret fund that I started when I got Kiki almost two years ago. This seems to fit into the "medical problem" that I set up the fund for. (I expected to need it for adrenal or something in a few more years, but whatever). I put some water bottles in the freezer in the mean time. This is my first summer with all but Kiki. I took him swimming last summer and he seemed fine. Brownie is such a big fat ferret I guess he feels the heat more than others. Anyway, I guess I'm off to get an A/C for the playroom. Thanks again for the advice. I know the kids and I will be spending allot of the summer in the playroom. ;-) (gonna be hard to explain to the hubby why the family hasn't got A/C but the ferrets do! (He hasn't been converted yet, but we're working on him). [Posted in FML issue 4176]
