Oh my goodness are you in for fun! OK, I put it on their bellies so I can distract them while they get their nails trimmed and ears cleaned. I put it really far from the door when I need to make a getaway. Sometimes I put a drop to disguise the taste of meds. I let ferrets who don't get along share it so that they can get used to being close without fighting. I put a drop on kid's (and other people who aren't used to ferrets and might be a little afraid) hands so that they can be charmed by the kisses. You're gonna love ferretone! BTW, although it's not quite as good for them, in a pinch they're almost as crazy about any food oil. --Clover Always selling quality bedding and other goodies to help the ferrets! http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZwclovergalQQhtZ-1 [Posted in FML issue 5168]
