Hello fellow ferreters! As this is my first letter, allow me to say a little bout myself. I am a new ferret lover (my little fuzzy is only five months old) from Niwot, Colorado. Age: 17. There, formalities done. Now, my question involves shoes. I recently purchased a pair of $150 dress shoes which I was going to take to the National Tournament for Forensics in Minnesota this summer, left them on a shelf (in the box), and left my room for about an hour. When I came back, I found not only them, but my new Nike's shredded. And guess who had the cute little face of "Who, me?" That's right: Dax (my ferret, silly!). Any suggestions on how to break this evil habit before Dax grows bigger and bigger and takes over the world?!?! AHHAHAAHH! Sorry bout that. :) Please email any solutions to [log in to unmask] Thanks!
