Hi, I think that subject line didn't quite convey the message I was hoping to. Recently I had asked about carpet digging and what makes ferrets avoid things. I wanted to post the multitude or responses I got in hopes to help other people. Also, thank you for your responses. (I am typing this from memory, so I hope I don't forget any). Suggestions: Bitter Apple Peanut Butter Vinegar Tobasco Sauce Lemon juice Toothpaste Rubbing Alcohol Some of these lend themselves to certain situations, while others do not, so hopefully this list will help. Have fun, Chris. [Posted in FML issue 0360]
