Hi all! We have been busy moving into our new house. Ok, an old house, but it is ours! So, I have been reading the FML, but have not had time to post on various things until now, so here goes! As for the heat in the south, when we have the windows open, the fuzzies have their own fan. A small oscillating fan, cheap at Wal-Mart, sits on a table near the cage and is left on for them when it is warm out. They all pile into the hammock in front of the fan and seem to enjoy the breeze. Of course, when it gets above 80, on goes the AC!! As for the rum in the pool, mine prefer vodka! I am sure they would just love to have vodka and tonics while sitting poolside! LOL As for dominance and screaming ferrets, we got over the dominance thing, but the baby still screams! She usually picks the fights, but when the going gets tough, Sammi screams (sounds like Cousin It) and expects her Dad to rescue her. This goes on in the cage, too, usually when one of her brothers decides to clean her ears when she is sleeping. Such a spoiled baby!! Any ideas on making a deck ferret friendly? We now have a wonderful two level deck and the upper level has gates and bars along the sides. I was thinking of putting wire along the inside of the deck so my little darlings can go out on the deck with supervision of course! Hugs to all the fuzzies!
