I had a blast at the symposium, learned much, met people from last year and new ones. Great zoo trip Sunday; Thanks, Bob and Joel. I took home a large bag of the new ferret Evo food (I put it in checked baggage which got somewhat wet when transferred in Atlanta) but when I opened it and put some out in the living room, right by the door, the small black ants which had never been inside found it in about 20 minutes, had a lot of ants inside and had a feeding frenzy on the few pieces in the floor. This MUST be good ferret food! Lots of meat and fat in it. Anyway I put Amdro ant bait outside and sprayed Orange Power bug killer on the outside of the threshhold. I swept up all the crumbs in the area. No ants this morning so I hope they don't return. Carol Owens, Ferret Friends Tucson Az [Posted in FML issue 5289]
