Ticks For anyone living in the Northeast US (other places too, I'm sure) tick season has started, ugh. LI vet Can anyone please give me recommendations for good Long Island ferret vets (not NYC); thanks! Eating bugs? Someone told me that ferrets can't digest chitin, the outside shell of insects, so they shouldn't be eating crunchy bugs (though humans can :-) any thoughts on this, anyone? I'm assuming moths are ok? Silly stuff Next to my computer I have a box of stationery with flowers on it. This morning I caught tiny little Petunia trying to drag the box away with her. I can only assume the FLO is now using innocent-looking stationery along with computers to send their messages, such as this cryptic note from Petunia: ///////////////// 6reeeeeeeeeeeeeee09` or, perhaps they are preparing for Y2K computer troubles by keeping more traditional methods of communication on hand (I wouldn't be surprised if they used the Daffy Duck stamps) --Ronnie Ralphie, Harry, Prince Charming, Merlin, Roxanne, Petunia, Epcot & Clover's mom in Mass. Epcot "gimme those sneakers so I can run in the Marathon tomorrow!" http://members.aol.com/farmflower/index.htm PLEASE HELP!
