I'd like to reply to Eve who described her ferts as monsters. Hate to tell you, but that is normal behavior. I got my to Babies when they were 2 month, Jake and 1 month (Elwood). They were crazy!!! They need to explore their new home. Forget trying to cuddle with them they would wiggle free in no time. My advice, let them explore, it in their nature. I would just keep an eye on them to make sure they don't get in to anything harmful. It actually fun to get down on the floor with them and wrestle with them or play hide and seek. Enjoy !! O.K. now the real reason I'm posting. I read in an FML this week that some one uses rice for their ferrets to dig in. That's a great idea! What happens if they eat it? Is it bad? I have a small apartment and I was planning on buying a big Rubbermaid tub and filling it with something that easy to clean up so they can dig to their hearts content. Can someone help me out.
