Some time ago, I tried mixing Ferretone with olive oil and Max just turned his nose up at it (and he *loves* Ferretone). On the other hand, when I mixed it with canola oil, he went straight for it. If anyone else has a fuzzbean who doesn't like olive oil, give the canola oil a try. Speaking of Ferretone, I always say "Vitamins!" when it's time to give it to him, and he comes a-runnin'. Funny part is, he gets so excited that his tail starts resembling the south end of a rattlesnake. It's a hoot! To the Anonymous Poster who wants to try Totally Ferret: If you're having trouble getting a sample from Performance Foods, send me an e-mail. I'll send you a sample of mine. Dayna, you're right on about folks who are owned by ferrets. We're a bunch of fanatics, but *good* fanatics, to be sure! :) Dooks to all and special best wishes for the sick fuzzies. Here's wishing each of you a speedy recovery! C.B. and Maximilian [Posted in FML issue 1703]
