I am happy to announce that my three ferrets all use the same place to go to the bathroom now! We put down old carpet pieces in their favorite corner and they all use it without fail! I am so happy! Today in the newspaper there was a report of a cat having the plague! The newspaper recommended that pet owners use flea powder on their pets! I have a cat who spends 50% of his time outside, and I don't want him to bring anything back to my ferrets. Can anyone recommend a mild flea powder for my little guys? As for shedding, it has been about 75 degrees here! My ferrets are getting rid of their winter coats. My boyfriend will put Ferretone on his hand and while the ferret is busy licking, I brush..REALLLLLLLY fast! Sarah [Posted in FML issue 1486]
