Hi All! My name is Christa Besherse and I am from Lawton, Oklahoma. I've been subscribed to the FML for a week or so now and I'm ready to put in my 2 cents!! 1) For everyone who has been posting about problems with your kids digging holes in the carpet, I saw the greatest thing...Soft Paws. I'm not sure if they work, but the idea is right! They are little vinyl nail covers that you slip right over the natural nail! You just trim your ferret's nail, put a drop of the special glue in the cover, and slip it over the natural nail! They are supposed to stay on for 4 to 6 weeks before re-application is necessary! Even more...They come in designer colors! Clear, Hot Pink, Neon Yellow, Black, and Electric Blue! This is a great option to declawing (which is what I had done) and your sweetie gets the latest fashion in nail color!!! 2) Does anyone know where I can purchase health insurance for my ferret? I have seen cat and dog policies, but NO FUZZIES! This would be a great convenience as vet bills can get quite large!! 3) Pete has been showing signs of insulinoma, but all of his blood work checked out OK. His doctor also checked him for kidney failure but that too is OK. She suggested that with maturity his body may be utilizing protein in a different way and that I try giving him different formulas of food until he begins to gain some weight back. Has anyone heard of this? I trust my doctor, but it seems so unusual. Thanks christa jo [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 1184]
