TEN THINGS TO DO TO GIVE YOUR FUZZY A HAPPY NEW YEAR: 1) Get your fuzzies a nice, soft blanket to use instead of a towel. 2) Buy them a bigger cage if they are overcrowded. 3) Switch to a higher quality food if they are not already on one. 4) Buy your fuzzies some bath toys so that they enjoy bathtime more (I recommend Playmobil toys in the 1-2-3 series, made for small children). 5) Get your fuzzy a new hammock. I recently saw one from a mail-order company that I hope to get Pepita. She currently just has the typical nylon-type $7-10 one. Well, this one is $20, but is sheepskin lined and the ferrets have the option of sleeping on top or inside of it! 6) Get them a SAFE stuffed animal. Usually one made for dogs without any appendages such as eyes, etc. is safe. Pepita loves her animals and carries them all around the place. One time while out playing she took a little monkey stuffed toy all around the floor, running around with it! :o) 7) Make a resolution to spend more time with them. 8) Make a resolution to clean the litter-box more often. I9m making this one, because Pepita seems to use it better when it9s spic and span! 9) Get your fuzzy a water bottle if it currently drinks out of a bowl and makes a mess. If your fuzzy has a water bottle, clean it by putting dry rice in it with soap and water. Close and shake, then dump out the soap and water. Rinse mutliple times to get rid of the soap. 10) Just be you! Your fuzzy loves you for who you are. Have a very wonderful 1997!
