I have a couple of questions which someone out there should be able to answer fairly easily: 1) What are good toys for ferrets? I don't want to give them anything which they could get sick on or injured by, and don't want to give them anything they would find BORing. So what sort of toy, besides the old standboy, wadded-up-newspaper-in-a-large-cardboard-box, is good for them? 2) My first ferret, Frieda-weasel, sometimes had fleas. So what I did at such times is give her a bath in LUKEWARM water, first using Dr. Bronner's Eucalyptus Liquid Soap, then a rinse, then a second go-over with Ferret-Glo, a toning shampoo for ferrets that was supposed to be good for their skin and wouldn't dry it out. The combination seemed to be fine for her. Would there be any reason for NOT using Dr. Bronner's Eucalyptus Liquid Soap on a ferret, to get rid of fleas (which it does, very nicely; eucalyptus oil is extremely toxic to fleas, yet _apparently_ harmless to mammals. I wanted to double-check and make sure that I wouldn't be hurting my babies by using this sort of bath on them. Thanks, Yael, Frank&Jessie (the Dreaded Gang of Two) [Posted in FML issue 0763]
