okay i have been seeing alot of folks lately writing for help on the subject that their ferrets are digging at the carpets. i know were they are digging all the time. it is at your closed doors. i know i have had the same problem. but after sitting down and thinking of a way to beat him at his own game i thought of a great idea. go to a hardware store and get thoughs plastic strips. that you can cut up and place at the doorways. after that stapel the strip to the floor.as long as it is the good strong kind you should have no problem. personnaly i think the only reason the ferrets dig at your doors is because they thing they are getting somewere by digging oyur carpet. just because in all facts they are. your carpet is not all carpet anymore. there is a bald spot there now. so they think it may take some work but they will get under the door. by stopping all progress i think they will give up tring after a while. if anyone tries this please email me and let me know how it is going. it is just a thought i had so please let me know if it works or if you have any other ideas. or questions. lynne taggart --------------------------------------------------------------------------- no animals were harmed in the making of this email --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [log in to unmask] once a tiger always a tiger ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Posted in FML issue 1756]
