Hello, I am a new subscriber to this list, although I don't feel new to parenting a ferret, I have one,(Fruit :-}), who is 2 1/2 I am very concerned with: >Of course this could be the fault of the management of >these pet stores, but for them not to even be aware of the problems with >the shavings is a bit questionable. I haven't been on this line long enough to have read anything about this and would appreciate any info. Even back issue numbers. The information I got with her said nothing about wood shavings being hazardous bedding.(I got her at a pet store.) (oh....she also has 2 small blue dots in her ear) Thanx Sam, Fruit, and Schelly [Posted in FML issue 0661]
