...was that losing hair on a ferrets tail was normal and that they always did so every summer. It was natural. I now know that is not true because I haven't seen a naked tail since the last adrenal ferret I had. ... That snapping their noses with your fingers, hard, or otherwise, stops them biting. Wrong!! Positive enforcement, cuddles, patience and love, will win over a ferret any day. Caging saves your furniture. Well, it might but then you won't have a happy ferret. Over caging causes depression, aggression, and anti-social behaviour. Raisins are the best treat to give ferrets. Thank goodness that isn't the case anymore. That's all I can think of for now. betty and her blurs o'fur For the love of ferrets Since the early 80s! [Posted in FML 8053]
