Hello all ! I have a little bit of story to share a warning that may help some of us and our Fuzzies. We have been talking and reading about furniture safety and our ferrets. Many people will say Futons all the way and I agree. I HAD a queen sized bed on a nice black Pin wheel frame, you know the type you put mosquito netting on. Our youngest and most mischievous boy Fizban had a field day climbing in and through the box spring. Looking at the bottom I could see sharp staples and nails sticking out. So we chucked the frame, now sleeping on only box spring and mattress. Well of course that did not work either and Fizban tore open the box spring so he could turn the underside into a little den! This would not work.so you guessed it we are sleeping on ONLY a mattress on the floor, just for my Fuzzies. Now my kids rooms both had Futons before I ever got a ferret so I very glad that we would not have problems ( I thought) with the beds in there. So here I was sitting at the computer while the boys were playing tag. They dodge into my sons room and in a couple minutes I hear a terrible cry I thought was my niece. She was sleeping right behind me I turn to see her still sound asleep. I run into my sons room just in time to see Fizban make a couple strange mini jumps and I see its him squealing. I know he is in pain I snatch him quickly and being to search for the reason for his cries. Finally I see a tiny drop of blood pooling on his rear middle toe tip with NO nail! When I was able to comfort him and help clean him up he was Ok just very scared and a sore little foot. I retraced what I saw and found his toe nail wedged in the metal frame of the Futon! This particular Futon is a Wal-mart special. You buy it in a box and put it together. The frame is in 4 big pieces that you must join together in the middle. On the main outer support bar where this frame comes together is this ever so slim space..right where his little toe nail got stuck. Now I realize this is a freak accident and probably wont happen to many folks or ferrets again. But I wanted to share so if you have one of these futons or plan to buy one. You may consider some sort of method to seal the crevice. JUST IN CASE. And yes my FIZ BUT is just fine. His toe healed very well and his nail even came back. Poor little guy. P.S. Karen I love your dedication to your fuzzie and your new kit looks just adorable! Dooks, Kris and the Gang from Dookers Den [Posted in FML issue 5015]
