Hi hi, Here we go, several basic questions: 1. Our two ferts, Rizzo and Bandit, had their first vet visit the other day and were just fine. The vet told us that they should be getting heart-worm pills, does anyone know more about this? An un-knowing desk clerk almost gave us pills meant for a 25 lb dog! 2. In the process of their wrestling and play-fighting (we deem it play fighting since they both come back for more, ie, neither is consitantly trying to get away) anyway, during this, we think that Bandit is developing hair-balls (from Rizzo's fur ;). What do you recommend for ferret hair-balls? 3. Along the ferret/cat food line, I was wondering if the person who denounced 'cat' food was including 'kitten' food in the same statements? We have been feeding our two IAMS kitten food and they seem perfectly happy with it, and they certainly haven't stopped growing! We had a bag of MF ferret food at first, but not only did it smell terrible, but it's main ingredient was fish (hence the nasty, low-tide smell) and it was pellet shaped, both of which I am told ferts don't like. Thanks in advance for any help, and thanks to all who wrote about the nail/ferretone problems we were having. -Mat, Dianne, Bandit and Rizzo ps - The vet gave us some new ferretone-like stuff that both of our ferrets absolutely LOVE, I will get the name and post it here, it came in a sort of medicinal bottle . . .
