Hey, name is Melissa and I just reciently joined the mailing list! I have two fuzzies, Dallas (M) and Margarita (F). I thought I would just introduce myself and let you all know how thrilled I am to find out I'm not the only one with crazy ferrets! They poop behind the door, dig at the carpet, play the caveman game...they don't usually poop in the tub though, I wish they would! Isn't that essentially like being potty trained! It's really cold up here in upstate NY, so I don't think they are shedding just yet, but I think I may have heard a furball being hacked today! Dee- I'm not an expert, but if I were you I would stay away from wood chips at all! I think they are what killed my chinchilla last year, and they are very allergenic. I think a calendar is a great idea! Does anyone know how to keep fuzzies out of desk drawers? Or from scratching inside of all my shoes? (And I thought the smell of my feet could keep anything away!) Hope to talk to you all again soon-MEL, DALLAS, and MARGARITA! [Posted in FML issue 1481]
