Thank you for your inquiries as to Oprah's progress, she is doing just fine. She is in my lap as I type @#oefipefisifisiiiffifkdlmcv :) Those of you who have ferrets around your keyboard know what I mean. Angus, one of the new adopted boys ended my back-up session before it finished, just by running from / to Q a few times. Reading(1/17/96) digest I saw the response to a "good ferret coat." When I visited Ferret Wise, I was impressed with all(40 some ferrets)their coats. Alicia credits "Totally Ferret" food. After talking with several other fuzzy owners who use this food. I am giving it a try. One women told me she saw a vast difference after only 3 weeks! We are starting off mixing it 50 % with our present food(Iams Kitten)and then increase it gradually until it is 100%. If interested, Contact; Horse & Buggy, Dunbar Street, Keene, NH, 603-352-0328. They will send you info and they also Ship. Please mention "Ferret wise" when talking with them. Hope this will be of some help.
