Hello, All, Although we have been owned by fuzzies for several years now, I keep learning new things on the FML - THANKS!! for all the info, the "warm fuzzies," and even the sad stories - then we appreciate the good more. "How would you know a good day if you never had a bad one?" 'Nuf said on that. Thanks to those of you who sent replies on the Advantage flea stopper. Again, any additional info is treatly appreciated - and my vet (actually Silver Star Animal Hospital) is very cooperative and interested in info I bring in on ferrets. Dayna, so very very glad to hear your newest little one is now playing - our prayers for a continued speedy recovery and adaptation go with you. You ARE a very special person! Back when we had only two fuzzies, neither of them would use the litter pan in their cage (a _very_ _large_ cage). So, since I was pretty sure they wouldn't soil their "bedding," (translation: lots of t-shirts and towels, a couple of 4" inner-diameter 3' long tubes, etc.), I tried something - and it worked. We attached the litter pan to a back corner of the cage and then put "bedding" all over the bottom of the cage. They woudl re-arrange the "bedding" to their heart's content, but it was an immediate end of problem. I realize this won't work with ferrets who have total freedom - but if there is a cage problem, try this - it can't hurt, and it might work for you, too. Again - by any chance, is there a "fuzzies group" in Central Florida?????
