Howdy, Hagen makes the best ferret leashes I've seen. They have the quick snap connectors instead of using the normal thread through buckle type leashes. Once you adjust the proper lengths to go around the ferret's neck and chest area, pick up the fert and snap'em in within a couple seconds so there's no fuss. Up in Toronto, one of these leashes is about $20.00. Come in many colours and psychedelic patterns. It also has a little bell on it to drive everyone crazy, but would come in handy should the fert decide to roam in the wilderness without you knowing. Kate and I just bought one for the cat recently. He likes it as well. Actually walked with me the first time out at the cottage. Rob & Kate Samson, Mindy, Gabby and Lola :) [Posted in FML issue 1633]
