We have mice here. I contacted a exteminator, we were told they have pellets used on mice and are safe if a cat or dog catches and eats the mouse, BUT could NOT guarantee,that if a Ferret ate the same mouse it would be safe!! He said its because of its size... Alot of you ppl have had ferrets have had ferrets longer than us,so i'm trying to pick your brains here in trying to figure out WHAT to do. No the ferret food cannot be picked up,there are ferrets out free roaming 24 hrs a day. One group is out for 12 hrs then another group out for the other 12 hrs. We have however used steek wool in their holes and its true they do not like steel wool. We have caught some and they are in a aquarium for now. Thanks Jody [Posted in FML 5912]
