Hello all-- I've forgotten exactly who mentioned their itchy ferret, and having used Tide detergent for the first time to wash the bedding. Tide, IMHO, is very nasty stuff. I personally am very allergic to it-- I get small hives all over from it. I know my ferret shares some of my respiratory allergies, so I wouldn't be suprized if the detergent were the culprit. Must run to class, so I am mercifully brief today! Hope everybody has a chance to take their ferrets out to play in the leaves in this lovely fall we're having on this side of the world!
