Here's another cheap alternative to buying a ferret dish. We are using a large, heavy ashtray that is left over from the days when most of our friends smoked and we always had plenty of ashtrays on tables. It is a glass "bowl" and it is easy to clean. It CANNOT be knocked over, and Sylvia cannot drag it across the room like she does with the cat's water bowl. //--------------------------------------------------- Eleanor Kohn email: [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 2014]
