I pointed this out in the first one, and when I went into the other one yesterday, I was happy to see that they had also moistened the kibble for the ferrets. In each case, I have to pick up the littlest one, check their ribs and make sure they are doing ok (not that I know a lot about young ferrets, but helps my peace of mind). Yesterday, when I set the little one down, s/he attacked the hanging toy, holding it, wrestling with it, bitting it a little... When I walked back by after getting my fish (about 10-15 minutes) s/he was still at it, and one of the other ferrets (the one that had been sleeping right by the hanging toy) was awake and eating. I think the little one got so carried away, s/he landed on this one while playing. :) So there are good pet stores out there. We all need to remember that before we condemn all pet stores because of a few serious problems. Debbie & Jim Pixie (The one in charge) [Posted in FML issue 2291]
