Just a quick note on couches. I've been reading here a long time and haven't seen a problem of this type but.... A friend of mine who works in a furniture store told me that some furniture manufactures used to make couches etc with rat poison in them. I don't know if they still do - seems like they wouldn't I mean a child could eat some if it fell out - but its something to ask about if buying furniture and something to think about if your ferret loves playing in the couch.
