Hi folks, Here is a great (affordable) source sent to me by Ron Carter, ("Fuzzie Dad") for those metal swivel hooks used on ferret hammocks (and lots of other stuff) . Only these are a lot nicer and easier to use than Marshall's Hammocks' hooks. Plus, Marshall's informed me they sell only to retailers, and didn't even specify whether they also sold these hooks, but basically that they were sorry, they couldn't help me. Ron said : "The ones that I use are nickel plated the Item # is AL-169-12 they cost $30.00 for 100 of them.....The total length is 1 5/8 inch. The man's email that I use is [log in to unmask] I think his name is Mike..." http://www.aplusproduct.com/ Mike Schreiber A+ Products, Inc. 718-272-8544 PH 718-272-8594 FX Ron gave me permission to post his source, and I just want to publicly thank Ron for his kindness, generosity and helpfulness! I would encourage everyone to check out his website for his ferret hammocks. Here it is: http://www.geocities.com/Petsburgh/Haven/5886 [Posted in FML issue 2883]
