If you can't stand that, then maybe you should reconsider >being owned by a ferret! Because I have a low tolerance for animals crapping in my living quarters I should "reconsider" my choice of pet? That's harsh and judgemental. I never said I couldn't stand cleaning up ferret poop. I've been a ferret owner for more than 11 years. I've trained four ferrets to be 99%-100% accurate in their cages and a fifth who has only an occasional lapse. Brickbat, however, has stumped me for nine months, defeating every method that worked with the others. If my first ferret had been 60%, as you say yours are, I never would have adopted a second. An animal that craps all over your house with no hope of being trained otherwise isn't the kind of animal one should have as a pet. The next time you have nothing constructive to offer it would be better to withhold comment instead of telling someone you don't know personally to get rid of their ferrets. -mel ~ Question the definition of Progress ~ ~ www.Adbusters.org ~ [Posted in FML issue 2747]
