Hi there. Laura, I'm sorry about Charli. I hate it when I hear about the little sharks dying. **sob** About Allie, I would first tend to ask if she has had all her shots. Next, have you changed anything in her environment that might make her react that way? Good luck with a solution. Otter, you mentioned that one of your ferrets had eaten soap. That might be the cause. I never heard of soap being very good for ferrets(or anyone else for that matter). Has anyone out there tried to actually train ferrets? I am trying to do that now. Coco comes when called and listens to a big NO!!! I've been trying to get her to stand up on two legs by telling her "up" and holding a treat where she can see it, but just out of reach so she will stand up and get it. Today I said "up" and held it out of her sight, but she still knew I had something. Hopefully I can keep extending the distance until she does it even if I don't have anything in my hand. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to about teaching the little ones other tricks and/or more complex ones? Thanks Enrique and Coco [Posted in FML issue 0655]
