HI there. Because the weather is finally becoming warm here in Minnesota, I want to take my ferrets outside, specifically my girls whose experiences outside have been limited due to their skittishness. Anyway, Stormy is so tiny that she is too small for the lock harness. She slides right out of the Velcro harness too. Any suggestions? Also my other girl, Niko was diagnosed with a heart murmur when we just got her. She has no health problems to date but I am wondering what exactly a heart murmur is and the effects on a ferret. Is it safe to take her outside where she may be startled/stressed? The vet really had no reliable advice. For that reason I am also looking for another vet with more ferret experience. Anyone in MN have a great vet? I live in the western suburbs but for quality care I am willing to travel up to an hour. Thanks for all your help. Robin Hegge [Posted in FML issue 4839]
