Hi all. Two questions 1. Cutting Nails My ferts used to let me cut their nails if I put some Ferretone on a dish in front of them. They'd lap at the treat, and I could cut away. Lately, they've both decided that I can't do that. They're both wise to that trick now. Plus, they are more active than they used to be (even though they are _much_ larger). Any suggestions? Their nails are getting quite long, and I don't have the luxury of having a second set of hands around the apartment. 2. Stinky! I have had two fixed and descented ferts (Penny and Sandy) since June. I've read a bunch of stuff about stinky ferrets on this list before. They've always had they typical ferret odor (which isn't bad at all once you get used to it), but now, they are getting much stinkier. I haven't changed diet on them. I clean the litter box every day, and change the bedding every other day. The only thing that has changed is their coat (lighter now) and their weight (fatter now!). Any ideas? I only bathe them once a month or so now, since that would only make matters worse. TIA Pete (Penny and Sandy) ================================================================== Peter M.
