Hi! Whew, I'm finally caught up! MIDNIGHT SNACKS Just a quick note to Isabelle's mom- Six hours _is_ a long time for your little girl to go without food. The ferret's digestive tract is only about 3-4 hours from one end to the other. I know that "crunchy crunchy" noise can be a bit loud in the middle of the night, but I'm sure that with time you'll habituate to it, and you won't even notice! CIGARETTES Eee gads! Watch those things! I would strongly suspect that ingesting cigarettes could be very harmful to your ferts. Please do try to find their "stash." Cheers! Gina and her guys: Paleface (Bean), Gunnar (Goose), and Daniel (Spikey); loving babysitter for the girls: Harriet (Hawwiet) and Wienerbutt (Weenie) <[log in to unmask]> [Posted in FML issue 1734]
