I Michael, Though I prefer break-away collars (use them on my cats), I find that they just don't work on ferrets. The little buggers will do everything to get them off! I get adjustable nylon ferret collars with plastic snap-type buckles from a store here in New Jersey called NJ Pets. Sorry, I don't remember the manufacturer of the collar, but if you want to call NJ Pets, their number is (201) 515-8665. Even with these collars, you have to make them pretty tight to begin with; leave just enough room to slip your little finger between the collar and the fert's neck. After they get used to wearing them, you can loosen it up a bit--until the day they accidentally slip it off and get it in their head that removal is possible, then you have to tighten it again for a while! I don't worry too much about them getting hung up, because the plastic buckle will come open with a really hard tug. Hope this is helpful. Nancy <[log in to unmask]> [Posted in FML issue 1881]
