I haven't written in a while so I thought I'd add in my two cents. to Laura about eating order- I have six fuzzies and I've seen 2-4 eating at the bowl at one time. They have all been together for almost 3 years now so maybe they are just used to each other. I leave food in their dish at all times so maybe that has something to do with it. As far as water goes I've got 3 bottles in their cage and I've seen Ozzy push the others heads down to drink. It's actually very entertaining to watch. nails- I have 4 which are various sables 1 is a siameese and 1 is a silvermitt, all their nails are different. Some thin and sharp, some thick and dull, some I need to clip every 2 weeks some every 2 months. David, ferret possesions- You did the right thing by taking the rubber toys away, but I hope you gave them other toys. Mine like stuffed toys with no eyes to chew off, and cat balls with bells in them. [Posted in FML issue 1351]
