Several weeks ago I saw a discussion on the FML about the evils of using cedar shavings as ferret bedding material. Could someone please email the references which describe why this is a bad idea? The local zoo and pet stores ALL keep there ferrets with cedar shavings, and aren't about to change without some hard evidence detailing why this is a bad practice (I know the zoo keepers in charge of the ferrets, and can easily get them to change if I can provide some sort of reference - not just second hand information: "my vet told me..."). The pet stores... well, we'll see. Thanks in advance. Leonard Bottleman [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 0486]
