How come most ferret shelters are run by women? I (female helper) have suffered a ferret deep bite while doing a shelter mailing. I got back to the mailing as soon as I stopped bleeding all over the envelopes. I clean the litter pans 95% of the time and not my male spouse. PLEASE give me your trick to get guys to clean litter pans. [Posted in FML issue 2742]
