Hey MaryAnn, Thank you for explaining what you ment about the fur plucking, you did already email me letting me know that. I understand how you do it and why you do it and yes i know hairball remedy doesn't always work, but if you give it too them a couple times a week during shedding season and every so often after that i would think everything would be just fine, i will wipe my hand down my ferrets body and whatever falls off i throw away, but thats as far as i go, but we all do things differently and i also just wanted to let you know that i thought that plucking the shedding fur doesn't feel all that great, but i wasn't accusing you of mistreating your ferrets by any means, just wanted to clear that up with you. Take Care, Theresa [Posted in FML issue 4408]
