For all of those who are excited about the angora ferrets in recent magazines -- A WORD OF CAUTION Thye are lovely ferrets but require regular maintainence with felaine hairball remover. Petromalt, Laxatone any of the like. Remember that this soft, long and fine hair --does indeed -- get ingested and caretakers of these beauties should administer hair ball remedy once a week regularly or daily during shedding season. Remeber that hair when ingested will knot up and cause a blockage -- once that occurs (if caught in time) the ferret will require surgery to remove the blockage. Beauty in this case has a price.
