Hi there fellow fuzzie followers Tried the snow thing this weekend (we finally got enough to call snow). Only took Loki out as the others are still sniffling a bit from our round with the cold virus that has hit so hard here. Bye the way, thanks to everyone for their suggestions & advice. He snuffled through the snow for 2 minutes then made a bee-line for my leg and a quick ascent to the warmer regions of my coat.. ah well. Some critters have more sense than us humans. :) Was introduced to the concept of wood pellets and am ever gratefull. They are the best thing around, except when it gets cold and you cann't find a bag anywhere in town :( My question now is... has anyone using wood pellets ever had a problem with their ferrets EATING the wood pellets?!? Falkor may be picnicing his food to the litter pan but I think he is eating them as well. If so, can this hurt him or cause a blockage? I am giving him some laxitone just in case but don't want to keep him on it forever if I don't need to. Speaking of which, tis time for the fuzzies ferritone fix. Enjoy! Jean and the fuzzie bundle Nikki, Jewell, Loki, & Falkor. [Posted in FML issue 1817]
