Hi all, An update on Mr. Fib and his brown tooth: I took him to the vet, who finally returned from holidays this week. The tooth is dead and I am having it capped in order to preserve it. Thankfully, the surrounding gums weren't infected, so he should fare well. Poor Fib - hope he isn't as afraid of the dentist as I am :). I want to thank everyone that wrote in offering information to me - you guys are great! Awhile back, I asked if anyone had a snail-mail address for Ferret Outfitters/Natural Wonders/whatever - places where I can order stuffed ferret toys and T-shirts, etc. I'll post the question again in hopes of receiving an answer soon. I have two fuzzies here that are kind of expecting something special this Xmas! Oh, well, maybe New Year's? Also, I want to throw in my $0.2 worth regarding the vegetarian ferret debate. It's my feeling that what is important is that the ferret is *healthy* and happy, whether it eats meat or not. My two do eat dry cat food and the occasional piece of cooked chicken, however, they will not touch raw meat and seem to prefer fruit and vegetables over most types of meat. They are especially crazy about potatoes, bananas and grapes. A very furry Christmas to everyone and their fuzz-loafs! -Brenda (I'm exhausted!) -Mr. Fib (I came, I played, I conquered!) -Schmeed (Ditto!) [Posted in FML issue 1049]
