Response about collar use: We've used nylon collars on our two girls with much success. They are collars specifically made for ferrets (ie. they are tiny!) and we got them from a pet store. We've attached small id tags onto them as well. Our experience is that the collars are pretty comfortable and the girls have adjusted to them very easily--in fact, in one instance it prevented Ophelia from crawling into a tiny space (that I didn't realize exisited until then!) because the collar wouldn't slip through like the rest of her!!! CA bill: We're extremely disappointed about the CA bill not passing. We faxed all of the people we could about this issue. Any ideas for further action???
