Hiya all, this is my first time writing in and it seems to be protocol to introduce oneself and ones fuzzies the first time so here goes. My name is James and my brother and I live in an apartment with our two sock drawer loving,cookie stealing,leather chewing but absolutely adorable furballs Aries and Calico (Calee for short). We live in Ontario Canada. OK now to the real issue: Kristen Herzog : about your fridge problem. I understand your dilemma, most good ferret books warn owners about fridges because the ferrets like to sleep next to the fan and everybody who's ever had one has seen the way they can sometimes wake up in a fury jumping around to get to that itch. The problem is that it isn't a good idea to block off the back of the fridge with cardboard. There are two reasons for this; one is because I doubt that it's any good for the fridge and ;two because ferrets don't digest cardboard very well at all, though they like to eat it plenty. The only suggestion I could give would be try something like chicken wire ( unless your fire rats like to chew on metal too.) We don't have much of a fridge in our joint but we try to prevent them from frolicking in the back of it but they've never really given us problems in that department. any way , gotta go, later all ************************************* * James and Iain Nesbitt * * and * * Aries and Calico * * * * [log in to unmask] * ************************************* [Posted in FML issue 1020]
