This is going to sound absolutely silly to all of you long-time ferret owners, but I just found out how exciting a ping-pong ball can be to a ferret. I let Pepita out in the bathroom and put a ping-pong ball on the floor (it's linoleum, so it rolled really well!). She must have chased that thing in absolute glee for over half an hour! Of course, I think this should only be done under supervision, as a ping-pong ball's plastic is not too strong. By the way, sorry I haven't written lately! I joined a few other animal mailing lists, plus it's been the holidays and all...anyway, hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! --------------------------------------------------------- Get Your *Web-Based* Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com --------------------------------------------------------- [Posted in FML issue 1769]
