In Trouble Over Smelly Ferret Poop

A new battle has commenced at my house over smelly ferret poop. And the Marshall ferret food is at the center of the issue.

I feed my ferrets Marshall Pet Foods. It was recommended by our vet, Dr. Jenkins at the Avian and Exotic Animal Hospital.


About a year ago I switched from Totally Ferret. To be honest I stopped using Totally Ferret when they stopped answering our requests for sponsors for the annual Ferret Legalization meetings.

My ferrets are healthy and doing well on Marshalls.

But my partner who believes in beauty over function says the Marshall food causes the ferret poop to stink more. I can't smell the difference.

Ferret nutrition is a little controversial. A few purisits tell me ferrets were meant to eat mice. That ain't gonna happen, but I do want the best possible diet.

What do you think?

Nevada or Not?

Enthusiasm for ferret legalization is picking up after a very successful booth at the Orange County Pet Expo. About 250 signed up and we are getting emails from people who saw the booth but didn't sign up.

It's been a hectic time with the Ferret Round Up but it is time to think ahead.

Every September LegalizeFerrets.org holds a "Legalize Ferrets Revival." This Septembers could be especially meaningful because we should be knee deep in our EIR.

I'd love to have a Revival where we could work with actual ferrets. Nevada comes to mind. So here is a poll - whaddya think?

Thank You, Mary & Ed

The Orange County Pet Expo started yesterday, April 11th and LegalizeFerrets.org has a booth. This is our second year at the Pet Expo and it is a little difficult to get organized because it comes so shortly after the Ferret Round Up. I didn't want to burden Lance with all the details as he was preparing to run for the President of Ferrets Anonymous.

But the booth is up, it looks great, and my thanks to Ed and Mary for helping me.

I relied on my Tom Tom to get me there Friday evening after work. The damn thing took me to the back streets of Irvine (I thought Irvine was all freeway). Luckily somone at a Union 76 station gave me directions. So arriving late and 3 hours on the road, I appreciate Mary and Ed's help and support. (Mary, I was only kidding about having the cocktail waiting.)

Last year over 300 people signed up for CLIFFNotes - hopefully we'll do even better this year.
