To the subscriber that wanted to get Totally Ferret in Houston. I can share my experience in New Jersey. We have an Agway store near us that I started to buy wood pellets from to use as litter. After a while, another ferret owner who was also buying wood pellets, suggested that since several ferret owners were patronizing his store to buy wood pellets, he would increase sales if he also carried Totally Ferret. Since he also sold other animal feed, he took her suggestion, and he is now my source for Totally Ferret also. Is there an Agway or other animal feed store nearby? That may be the way to go for you. And another note of use to those who totally spoil their ferrets like I do. Do you have a sand box for them to dig in? Do you have a giggly wiggly ball for them to play with? Great! DON'T let the two mix. One of our little angels dragged the giggly wiggly ball into the sand box and buried it. Sand got into the noise tubes built into the ball. It doesn't let out the goofy little moaning sounds anymore. It just rattles with the sand when you shake it. I guess she wanted to kill it--she succeeded.
