To Charlee - Yes there are several ferret owned people from Michigan on FML. I am in Battle Creek (by the way, Connie's Cove here is a good pet store who sells Totally Ferret and Ferret Bites, doesn't sell animals just fish and will go way out of her way to order anything you want, she got me a Midwest Cage at practically cost and had a guy make me a "ferret condo" like those cat ones covered in carpet with smaller holes and ramps. She is a really sweet lady!. To Pam - can I add QC+ to your food list or is it to late? If not let me know and I'll send you the specifics. I don't have any stake in this food but my ferrets really like it. To ? on not liking treats (incl Bandits): Mine don't like Bandits either but they LOVE Ferret Bites, Chicken Flavor (the only flavor) think its 8 in 1. Also cheerios (honey nut with milk, especially with milk), dont like plain raisans, Boris likes bananna sometimes and they like hard dog biscuits, I get them in small packs at a pet store since I don't feed them much, right now a lamb and rice flavor. Question: I saw someone used jerky as a treat. Can that cause a blockage? I mean I heard from someone where a bit of bananna peel caused surgery!
