First of all, is there a ferret FAQ? I have received the FML FAQ, but it seems that a list of general questions and answers could come in handy, too. My good friend Pixxel has been a member of the family for a couple of months now, and it's getting to be time to find her a companion who's better at crawling under the bookcases than either of her two big-soft-unbitable pals. Does anyone know of a pet ferret farm within about 6 hours of Rochester, NY or Philadelphia (ie, most of NY and PA, parts of OH and MA...) that will let us come choose one? Pixxel came from a pet store and is wonderful, but it might be nice to choose from more than two at a time. And yes, I have a problem I'd like advice on, too. Just recently, Pix has begun digging at the carpeting at the base of a sliding closet door, scratching it nearly to bits. We tried opening the closet door so she could go in and explore (after 'proofing it, of course), but since it's a sliding door there's still a whole area she can't get under. Any suggestions on how to stop this habit before out landlord has a fit? Bitter Apple hasn't done much. - Pam, Bob, and Pixxel [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 0609]
