Greetings to the wonderful world of ferretdom. Victoria: Don't be discouraged that your kits aren't cuddlers. Someone once told me that until ferrets are about a year old they are all energy; the older they get the more they interact with you on a personal level. *None* of my ferrets would sit on my lap when they were young. Now, sometimes they all crawl up and pile on my lap for one big communal cuddle! :-) The only thing I did was make sure I held them alot when they were little, and never, ever put them down when *they* wanted. Kinda like giving your little boy a kiss when you say goodbye at the schoolyard; he may wipe it off now but one day that love will pay off. Jim: Advantage flea control is a wonderful thing. I'd never seen fleas on a ferret before until I rescued Kayla, but I read enough here to know that there was hope!:-) Pick up some Advantage from your vet, part the fur and put 1-2 drops on the back of your ferrets' head, just below between the ears. That's it. Oh, and don't let your fuzzies play together until it's dry; you don't want them grooming it off each other and eating it. It works for one month, if you want you can repeat it a month later. It depends on how bad fleas are in your area. You should treat your greyhound too, but use a whole vial on him (as per the vets instructions). Meghan: Your story about Dervish and the PJ's made me laugh til the tears ran!! I think you've just won "most embarrassing ever" ferret story! Dervish sounds like she's a real character- I like her spunk. :-) Dooks, Ariel Jasper, Baxter & Kayla (fleas, what fleas?) ========================================================================== Ferret Proverb: A raisin in the mouth is worth two in the hand...but try to get those too.
