Howdy! To simplify and to cut down on my on-line time, here is an update on the buggy problem. Thank you to all who have responded. (I have tried the Lysol, to no avail.) Another question--has anyone uploaded ferret GIF files to AOL? I do not know how to access Internet directly, and would love to see some pics of other's fuzzies. I will be adding some pics of my own, after the move to Kokomo is complete, and we get access to a scanner. I am sorry for the sad stories of late. We almost lost Davey to a bacterial infection (green virus? we are not sure), and I can just imagine what you feel like. Our prayers are with you. Preperations for the move (Sept 30th) are progressing. of course, the most relevant issue there is a local AOL node--so we can play online without the long distance call charges!! YAY!!! Any other bug updates? Any ferret GIFs? Thanks in advance, Kelly & Michael, and the Ferret Fuzzies (who LOVE the boxes) and the Feline Furries (who are grateful for the additional ferret-free perches) ------- Howdy! Thank you for your offer to help with the bug problem. Just today, I again cleaned the entire cage, including litter box, with a soap and bleach mixture, and washed all of the bedding. I am sorry to say that I had not thought of the food dish, because I never see any bugs there. The only places I see them is in the litter box in the cage, and in one other box that is in the same room. The three other boxes throughout the house are bug free. I have now cleaned out the food dish, too, and all litter and food has been replaced with new and clean. The bus age small, and a uniform dark brown. They are lighter than weevils in color, and smaller. They are less than 5mm in length. They fly, so are not fleas. They are not on the animals, either cat or ferret, although (with the exception of the caged box), all the animals use the same boxes. I hope that this last cleaning gets rid of them. The thought of bugs in the litter box is truly disgusting--I feel that I am not keeping the fuzzies' home clean enough for them. I feel the same about roaches. Not that I hate all bugs, I don't; but those that indicate uncleanliness--yuck!!! Do you think that they could be brought into the house in the scoopable litter (Lasting Pride) as eggs? Any comments appreciated. Thanks in advance, Kelly & Michael, and the Bugged Family [Posted in FML issue 0955]
