I forget the ferret-related advantage/disadvantages of each. if you have had great or lousy experiences with any, please send me a short note in private email to let me know - i of course didnt follow the threads too closely when they've been active before because i didnt think we'd get fleas. Duh. :P Anyway, we have fleas - four ferrets and two cats in a 3-floor, 8-room carpeted house. Thanks in advance for info!
