Thanks to all the FML'ers who gave their advice! Now I have another question: do any other FML receivers live in Iowa? If so, I would really like to meet you and maybe have a small Ferret Frolic. I also have some advice to give to any ferret lovers out there who are interested. A harness and leash has really worked out well for Fergison. He loves exploring outdoors and it's really nice not to have to watch him every second. I suggest you get one for your ferret(s). Chanda & Fergison [Posted in FML issue 0888]
