Phebe now has the nickname of "Blossom Butt"! >Amy Evers :))))) I always say that our fuzzies tails smell just like incense. I breathe long draughts, then take a whiff of their ears and marvel that the same animal can have two such "at odds" smells emanating from one body. It's too late in the season, but next year I'll try and remind people to go smell a blooming "Pieris japonica" bush, which smells EXACTLY like a ferret, that musky wafting smell on a hot day after they wake up. And there are some daisies that smell EXACTLY like ferrets' ears! Truly. So, of course, what are my favorite flowers? >From: Anonymous Poster <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: Diapers >Has anyone found a way to successfully diaper a ferret?
