Folkes,I never meant for this to be as a bashing of anyone for their thoughts on how to treat ferrets.To help to educate ,yes. I do give all the shelter kids a lax every other day.A very small amount ,like a 1/4 of an inch.All 5 of my vets have said this is ok to do.And I've not lost one to a hairball since doing so. -- Sandi Heaven Scent Ferret Rescue/Shelter a 501-3c no kill shelter http://fuzzyslave.tripod.com [Posted in FML issue 4933]
