Got your digest and it was very informative and makes for interesting reading. I'd also like to know, if you have the answer, what are the most common accidents that occur with ferrets? I've done my best to "ferret proof" my home but being new at this I'm so afraid he'll get hurt. I want to be able to let him play freely because I feel guilty about keeping him confined for evn a couple of hours. I don't work so we're able to spend lots of time together but I am very busy with several home improvement projects. Please tell me what to look for as far as what could happen that I'm perhaps overlooking and how long at a time he is contented to be confined. He's 8 wks. old and does sleep alot in the closet of my bathroom and has the run of that room. Do they sleep alot out of boredom or is it normal ? My bathroom is safe {commode lids closed as well as drains in tub and sink} Thank you so much for sending me the digest. It's heartwarming to know that there are so many people like myself who are devoted to these charming little creatures ! Thanks again ! SilkLady7 [Posted in FML issue 2253]
