We humans spit the stuff out, ferrets generally won't and it IS toxic. Lee continues: >Wonder if my Dr Bronner's peppermint soap will also do the trick--the >toothpaste really feels kinda yucky. They'll eat Dr Bronner's given the chance (if they're anything like my fellas). When I wash my little ones, I use peppermint soap for the last lather--it makes them smell sweet and deters any fleas that might jump onto them. In any case, both of my guys LOVE the taste of Dr Bronner's. Cheers! Matthew. ========================================================================= J.
