Gang, Greetings, John R. Ref how do you put two ferrets on seperate food! Seperate cages, and return them to their cages every couple of hours! Ref ear cleaning. I don't know how important it is, as three girls I took in as refugees are over three years old and NEVER had theirs cleaned and need that and nails clipped. We have some opti-clean that we put in the ear and then just use a Q-tip. One of the Vets on-line said the Ferret ear canal is such that you can't hit the ear drum. We just "scruff" the ferret and clean away! Regards, {SOUP in NC} [Posted in FML issue 0776]
