Well so far the ferrets like to look at the Christmas tree but haven't tried to climb it. They like to snorkle under the tree skirt. I was lucky - the tree I got doesn't have low branches. Found in the nest Giesela made in my spare bedroom old T-shirt drawer - 3 silk scarves lining the inside of a T-shirt neck. Guess she likes the feel of silk:) Also for Thanksgiving when I brought in the grocery bags and they were all on the floor - Giesela dug a whole in the multi-veggie bag and started scarfing on the califlower. She only ate a little but this is the second time I've seen her do this. But she didn't want anything to do with turkey. Too strange. Thanks to all regarding the dog/ferret request. Lots of suprising combo's. Also ended up calling a local chapter of an org called Adopt A Pet and found out the woman's daughter has ferrets and does a little rescue as an Adopt A Pet foster home. Now trying to get in touch with her! Health to all Mary, Boris and Giesela [Posted in FML issue 1772]
