Dear friends - I've been meaning to post this forever, but Slinky has found a great new (and very cheap) toy. If you have a bottle of soda around, when you are done with the bottle, give your ferret the cap. Slinkl (oops - that's Slink) loves to chew on the ribbed side, and loves the soda smell, but since there is no liquid left, there's nothing bad for him... Also - my fiance is thinking about getting a domestically-bred parrot. Any experiences between our fierce little carnivores and feathered friends (the fact that she has 3 cats might be enough of a problem!). Thanks - Mason [Posted in FML issue 1073]
