Hi everyone! Well, I don't often if ever post my concerns and will probably get flamed for this one. Those collars, yes they are so pretty, I like them too......if they were meant for me. I am so surprised that someone would make collars out of beads for ferrets.That scares me. Laura, yes I did read what you said: >We don't leave them on when the boys are put away, but we definitely >have them on to show the kids off! and that did relax me some. But, I'm not worried about the responsible ferret owners here who use them for just those "show-off" moments. I am worried about the new and inexperienced ones out there. When one makes such items for ferrets you have to always keep that in mind and think of what could happen. I don't even leave eyes in toys if they are beads. Again, I am not flaming anyone here, I only speak for the ferrets and am genuinely afraid of these collars getting in to inexperienced hands. I don't look at them as a good idea for ferrets, sorry! I hope I'm not the only one concerned here. The concerned ferret mom, Helga (The one who's motor runs on ferret kisses) [Posted in FML 5578]
