hello all *hoppes on my soap box* hehehe I had to ok TannieMani thanks for the biting advice it works! as for pet stores -- I have been to alot around my area and I can say when I bought Vinyl he was in an aquarium(sp) with 3-4 others -- wasnt to keen on that one I have seen about 10ish kits in a cage with not levels just ramps(a 2 story) -- these lil guys bite and smell very bad -- I think pet stores really need to clean up their acts if they want to sell ferrets or any kinds of animals -- As for cages or not -- Mine have to be in a cage I have way too much electrical toys and wires around -- YES my room is ferret proof but still the get them -- I have found the mouse on the floor many of times..... Mine are in the cage at least 8-10 hours a day but they do spend ample time outside the cage as well to get their exercise and until I can really ferret proof the room Angel being as lil as he is is in the cage a bit more then usual -- I dont want to lose him!!!! TEATS -- I use ferret treats you can buy at the pet store -- chicken is a fav! I hate rasins so I dont know if I would buy them to give to my Angel Vinyl use to eat french fries ok im off I think Jena & Angel [Posted in FML issue 2404]
