Do you wash the new clothes before you wear them?

rosepedal64 @rosepedal64 (4188) • United States 31 Aug 09

I was wondering can ferrets eat lettuce and pickles? Will it hurt them to eat fruit and veggies at all?

canadamom Veggies are perfect. Not sure about the pickles though! We just lost ours last weekend. They live to about 3 1/2 to 5 so enjoy yours all you can. They are a treasure that is for sure! The vet told us we had a great grandpa ferret!
