Hi there all you fuzzbuts fanciers, The Tri-State Ferret Connection (serving South-Western Ohio, South-Eastern Indiana, and Northern Kentucky) will be having their monthly meeting on Feb. 2 at the Ebersole Community Center on Kellogg Ave in Cincinnati Ohio.As usual there will be ferret games so of course fuzzies are welcome. Last meeting Bullwinkle, one of our Fredonia rescues, took home the booby prize in escape te bowling pin circle. We put up about 30 plastic pinballs in a circle and placed a ferret in the center to see who would escape knocking over the least amount of pins. Needless to say, Bullwinkle knocked over 13 before meandering out of the circle, the closest competitor just managed to knock over 9. There were two feerets that knocked over just one so we had to have a ferret face-off to determine the winner. On a side note, our local shelter mom/breeder tried the wood pellets that have been raved about here and found out that her 10 week old kits were eating them!! So far all it caused were some loose stools but beware of the wood pellets around your young kits. Bullwinkle who is about 9 monhs old has not expressed any interest in eating them so it may just be in extremely young kits that you need to watch it. All opinions expressed are mine unless you agree and then they are yours also.
