Thanks to the many responses that I got about ferret proofing my apartment. 1) Aquariums -- I seemed to get about a 50/50 answer here. Half of the people said there ferrets ignored them, half said they went for the fish/water and the aquarium should be protected. 2) Wires -- Most people said the ferrets chewed on the wires and that using Bitter Apple was the way discourage that. 3) Cabinet -- YES, ferrets can open cabinets. Child-proof locks are needed to discourage them. Thanks again. ____________________________________________________________ \ \ > James P.
