Hi Everyone, I am several days behind on the FML and I would like to express my sympathies to all that have recently lost their Ferrets. It is always so difficult and sad to see a friend go. water bowls: My ferrets drink out of a water bottle and a bowl. What I use for the water bowl is one of those cheap tupperware like containers. I leave on the lid and cut out an opening for the fuzzbutts to put their heads in. I also secure the bowl to the side of the cage by making some holes in it and twist-tying it on. They normally eat out of a stainless stell bowl, but when they decide to start throwing the food around I switch them to the tupperware bowl type dish. They can't dig the food out too well from here and they loose interest in throwing stuff around for a while. I do put out a larger one, about 8" X 14" X 2" for them to snorkle in, but only when I can supervise. Duffle Bags: I have a bag that I ordered from Discount Master. Ummm? I don't know if I can put the # up here. I'm gonna try. If it doesn't appear here e- mail me and I'll send it to you. 1-800-346-0749. The bag is for cats/small dogs, but it works great on ferrets. It came in very handy at a recent ferret show when I had to carry around all 5 ferts at once for judging. It has 2 mesh openings with roll down flaps to close them. Price $21.99 + s/h. They deliver within a few days. Cleaning: Could someone please tell me if this is safe. I dilute white vinegar with water and clean the ferrets cage and floors with this. I was assuming that it would not be harmful to them. am I correct? You know what happens when we assume.<G> It only leaves a slight vinegar odor for a few minutes. Corrie Peanut, Lucy, Satchmo, Band-Aid and Flea PS: I'm so proud of Mr. Peanut so I have to brag <G> He can be seen in issue #5 Modern Ferrets on the pink noses page. Look for the sable under the Christmas Tree knocking over the train set. [Posted in FML issue 1524]
