I've seen a few posts about ferret sand boxes. Last year we had 16 tons of topsoil delivered so I filled a small box with dirt and let my two girls go to town. They had a blast!! So I was going to do the same thing this year unfornuately our soil was loaded with bugs, red ants and black ants. Not only do I not want my ferrets playing in that but I don't want it in the house either. Oh, plus I have sprayed serious chemicals into it. Not ferret friendly. So the stupid sand question.....do ferrets have a 2nd or 3rd eye lid? I would be afraid they would get sand in their eyes from burrowing. I have had sand and dirt in my eyes and I would take dirt anyday. Okay I feel like a total moran for even asking but I have to check with the experts. Oh, one other thing.....to the person who originally posted about the "bobbing for goldfish" aren't you sorry. : ) Thanks Gina [Posted in FML issue 2334]
