Hiya FMLers!! Well, i had been bragging to my friend Liege about the fuzzies forever. I could mistake him for a ferret-owner now, hehe. Well, i told him about the ferts digging, and he had a great idea. He wanted to invent something that you put on/around the carpet so that the ferrets could dig and dig and dig and dig, but make no damage! This is one of the things he wrote me : "Glad you like my ferret idea. Perhaps you could make a few designs up and show then to the ferrets and somehow i'm sure they'll show you which one they lie best. Just take all their favourite digging materal and things like that and see what you can make out of that. New use for an old couch hey? As long as you've got a nice shag-rug to sit on you'll be fine. Lie there in front of the fire....bliss in the winter. Assault course is something to add too. Curtains and windows and well....build them a house! It's amazing what skills animals will pick up and what they will do just to get something to eat or drink. Squirrels are the best that though i'm sure ferrets aren't far behind. It's amazing you had anything left of your house at all! I bet you don't have any rubber or leather clothing....it'd be gone before you'd even get a chance to wear it! You've gotta love them really." He`s brillant i tell you brillant!! If any of ya`ll have any other ideas pertaining to the ferret prevention of damage to digging, or building a ferret home, post about it! I might make some blue prints and show them to Hickey...He`s such a bad digger!! HeHeHeHeHe. I`d like to send my deepest sympathy to everyone who has lost a ferret or has a sick ferret, best wishes for ya`ll. And *WaVeS* to Skeeter!! We all love ya! hehe :) Well, i best be going now! Bubbly buy buy! xoxo Jammy, The Ferret Chick [Posted in FML issue 2598]
