Hi again-- I've got a question about bitter apple. I read the label and it says it's meant for the coats of dogs so they stop chewing themselves. So it must be non-toxic, yes? But the primary ingredient is Isopropyl alcohol. Is too much of this bad? Of course I won't let my ferret go drinking from the bottle (if he'd get near enough!) but could it cause any problems? I always thought that ferrets just didn't like the smell of it. But Tag will start chewing on whatever it is I sprayed and he won't stop until he tastes it. Then he has a fit and will run to his water bowl and dip his paws and whole face in to wash off. I know he'll learn eventually (now he won't even consider going near the lamp cord) but I just don't want him to ingest too much of it. Any suggestions? Vets? A comment about the hi-corner litter pans. I bought one thinking it would be so handy and space-saving. But Tag hates it! He'll dig all the litter out of it, push it out of the way and proceed to use the bare corner. I changed to a square litter pan and now he's as reliable as a clock! Won't even consider digging in it. Just a little tid bit of nothingness. Tag also will turn up his nose at ham, hard-boiled eggs and those Bandits ferret treats. Haven't tried raisins yet, maybe he's one of those backwards ferrets who doesn't like anything except kibble! Oh well. I guess that can be good in a way.
