Recommendation for the missing ferret: You might try putting up fliers a little further afield in public places, like the closest 7-11, grocery store and gas stations. Ferrets can sometimes travel pretty far then head for the nearest people. Maybe someone will see the ad. I forget if you posted in the paper in case someone in a car took him. ALSO use a squeeky toy around the neighborhood, squeek squeek, listen for scratching in case he's stuck somewhere. ALSO recheck your house very thoroughly. Pull out every drawer and look behind it, look in everything including behind and in things. Good luck. Vet in Albuquque: Try Dr. Chris Monroe at Edgewood Animal Clinic, she used to be my vet here in MI and has her own ferret Cowboy. As a matter of fact she called about a month ago to get instructions on how to get on FML. I haven't seen her post so maybe she hasn't figured it out yet? You could give her a hand:) Midwest Ferret Playpens. I modified mine with two floors as well. Not being very handy I did my best. I measured then had plywood cut to fit through the doors, 3 pieces for a complete floor, 2 pieces for a 2/3 upper floor, hammock hanging over the ramp. I then stapled gunned plastic carpet runner to the individual pieces in case of an accident, then cut a piece of carpet to fit the whole thing, rolled it up and fit it through the doors. I hung the wood pieces with those L shaped metal hangers with one screw through each end of the L although I have seen similar set ups using a hook with a screw on the end. The first complete wood floor I had to cut a hole for the ramp which was the trickiest part. If you think about it those two little plastic shelves dont really add up to much extra room for playing. With food and litter on the bottom floor the whole cage without flooring is just a lot of wasted space. The only other thing I dont like is the cage is heavy and awkward to lift out of the plastic bottom which is hard to clean because of the way the caging sits in it. I wish they would sit the cage part up in a groove in the plastic "lip" or something so you can just reach in a swab it out. Anyone know how to contact them? Nilla Wafers - a HUGE favorite of my two! They know the box and Boris will fight me for'em! Harmonica's: Giesela hates the noise of squeeky toys, the vacuum cleaner (she's not scared of it I think the whine of the motor bothers her) and when I was playing Bob Dylan she didn't seem to like the harmonica at all! I think some ferrets are sensitive to high pitched noises to the point they go nuts. The only time Giesela bit me was when I couldn't find Boris and was trying to squeek him out while I had picked her up cuz she was going crazy. Mr Davis - lets hope this good news travels FAST! I've heard a rumor that the Director of Public Health in MI is not fond of ferrets so I think it will take something official from up on high to get anything to change here. Enough for now. Thoughts and prayers for all sick and missing fuzzies out there. Mary, Boris and Giesela [Posted in FML issue 1834]
