Debra I have one concern--using Lysol around the fuzzies. I know that Phenyl Phenol is VERY toxic to cats, is the only other ingredient in Lysol besides alcohol, and should NEVER be used around them. I am assuming that there may be some cross-toxicity in ferrets? I used to use Lysol to disinfect (and then dry out) the cage every once in awhile and quit because of the scare.
