Hugs & Dooks to all! I was in a Petland in Regina, SK recently and was horrified to see the baby ferrets there with pine shavings as bedding. I talked to the workers in the store, the manager was out, and told them they should remove them. They told me that their head office in Calgary stated that they were all right because they use " A special kind" I contacted the Head office in Calgary and recieved a letter from the Animal Companion stating they used "baked pine shavings" which were quoted from a Vet in Calgary to be allright for ferret bedding. Does anyone have any information on this, and if so please email me. Thanks in advance. These babies also never had any litterbox, food or dish and no hammies for sleeping. I also told the Head office Animal companion about this and said I would be checking back to make sure these things had been addressed. I went back 1 week later and the litter box was back, the food dish with food, but still no sleeping hammies. These little guys are sleeping in the pine shavings. I have called her and left a message so I expect her to call me back and I would like to be able to give her more information about the pine shavings. Kate & Spaz [Posted in FML issue 4940]
