Hi all, I have a couple of quick questions, and didn't know who else to ask and I haven't seen them addressed before, so here it goes: Would one of the newer thermoscan thermometers (the ones you stick in the ear for a second) work on my ferrets? My vet hospital advertises the microchip thing implanted in the cats and dogs, would this be a good thing for ferrets? Is it painful? Do they actually have a better chance to be relocated with the owner,(do all the shelters have the technology to scan these things?) Thanks in advance for any help. I have started putting the harnesses on my ferrets and found that the Marshall Farms harness with the plastic clips works better than the neon colored one with the velcro, big waste of money IMHO. I can't beleive how hard it is to get my guys used to them! My sincere condolences to those who have lost their beloved fuzzies, my heart aches reading your posts.
