>Subject: murphys soap = OK? A few weeks ago I watched a video tape on raising, keeping and breeding ferrets. It was produced in England and was hosted by a supposed ferret expert. He did seem quite knowledgeable and it was a very interesting and informative tape. At least nothing in the video caused me to go... "awww, this guy doesn't know what he's talking about." Not that I'M the consumate expert. :) Anyhoo... one of the things mentioned was that any cleaning/disinfecting product that turns white when poured in water is phenol based and toxic to ferrets. Whether this means full strength, only while wet, etc., I couldn't say. I would also venture to say that just because something doesn't turn the water white, doesn't means it's safe... So I'll bet that answered your question. :) Mike * Michael F.
