Hi everyone! Snowflake, Pepper and I (Daphne) hope everyone is OK. We are really excited to find other ferret lovers. I guess I've just got a couple of questions: 1) I bathe Snowflake and Pepper with ferret shampoo about once a week but they still keep scratching and biting themselves a lot. I don't see any fleas on them and I don't know if it's mites. Can anyone help? I can't bear to see them so uncomfortable. 2) Pepper is about two and a half years old but she has never outgrown the biting stage. She won't bite me or my husband but if anyone else puts their hands near her---CHOMP! What can I do? I also found an article about a new ferret magazine "Modern Ferret" that just came out. The Jan/Feb issue run was only of 3000 so I am still looking for a copy. I've contacted the editors and I'll keep you posted about the magazine. [Moderator's note: The editor has been know to read the FML. BIG] Thanks! --Daphne, Pepper, Snowflake [Posted in FML issue 1148]
