Well it was not at all a fight, and it was not between ferrets armed with food:) but I had a discussion with a pet store owner whom recommended that ferrets eat dog food. I thought she was wrong and I *knew* that I read it either in a FAQ or on the list that cat food was a ferret staple. Was I right or the pet store owner? ______________________________________________________________ Selena Simonetti [log in to unmask] "THERE IS PROBABLY NO HELL FOR AUTHORS IN THE NEXT WORLD--THEY SUFFER SO MUCH FROM CRITICS AND PUBLISHERS IN THIS!"
