Bill] FML AD issue number 20 Mon, 30 November 2009 Compiled by Bill Gruber Welcome to the 20th advertising issue of the Ferret Mailing List. Hard to believe the previous advertising issue was distributed about THREE years ago! I hope many of you will find unique products here that you just MUST have :-). I've eliminated personal notes, added descriptive Subject: words when they seemed lacking and reformatted text a bit, but no words were changed -- thus full responsibility for the accuracy of these posts should rest only with the poster. The posts are listed in the order they were received. Note also, there was no charge of any sort to advertise here -- it's all entirely a volunteer effort.

SlippyPad Ferret Potty Pads plus toys and bedding! http://www.slippypad.com A lot of you are probably aware of our Ferret Potty Pads, but I haven't advertised on the FML before now. I sell SlippyPads - disposable corner potty pads which can be tied in a cage or can stand upright in corners around the house, plus SlippyMats - flat, square pads which can be used anywhere, even on top of the SlippyPads. They are a convenient, disposable product which makes clean up a lot easier! No more litter box scooping and scrubbing. A perfect gift for busy ferret people or for older, less capable fuzzies. Slippy was the inspiration for this idea, and he has been using them now for about 4 years. Now I am also selling handmade bedding and cute toys which totally benefit Forever Homes Wanted Ferret Rescue. ALL proceeds of bedding and toys go to the Rescue. These toys are perfect for Giving Tree ferrets, especially at 6 for $5! I will also refund shipping costs associated with the toys and bedding if I can fit them in with your SlippyPad/SlippyMat order. Look for the bedding and toys under the "Shop SlippyPad" tab at www.slippypad.com For shipping, please choose from USPS Parcel Post or Priority Mail, or Fed-Ex, or UPS. Email me for more info.

Since it has helped so many little ones, I persist at making it available pretty much at no profit since it's such a small market and I'm on medical disability as well. So as my sig says, goto Timmyferret dot org, and the full story is there, and a way to contact me for orders. The maker of it for the first time in 11 years raised my cost $5.00, but going direct it's the same $27.00 for the 8 oz bottle. I'll even to save shipping cost & effort goto $25/btl for an order of 4 ea since I have some nice boxes that fit that ammount, and it lasts a good long time. I don't do credit cards, but will take personal checks or paypal with their added fee. It's actually made by hand, since I only order maby 300 bottles at a time, and their production equipment has scaled up to 5000 bottle runs. My quantity would be the wastage from such an operation, and I have to pay them in advance. It takes 5-6 weeks to make, as they don't stock some of the exotic herbs and they have to alcohol extract the goodness from some of them, then distill off the alcohol! Of course they have to have the permit to run a commercial still. They do it only since it's for such a good cause. When I found this out, I added the line at the bottom of the lable "Hand made by people who care", as it's the truth:) Their family goes back 8 generations to the Netherlands in herbal tradition. Happy Holidays everyone:) -- the ferret store no longer is in business,. Timmy's tonic is only available from myself, give me a call, the number is on the recipe page at timmyferret dot org. take care, Gary h ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:34:56 -0800 From: Deva Kolb Subject: Many Different Ferret Christmas Items 10 different CDs of Ferret clip art are available for using in newsletters, letters, posters, to create stencils, iron-on art for T-shirts and many other uses.

But nothing will be possible without the help of the best models ever ;) My little top models work so hard to make people smiling. For to be able to get one or two good shots, that takes many sessions and long hours of hard work. I have two calendars assembling all those amazing efforts: They are available through the Artists site deviantART * The Ferrets Calendar second edition : http://www.deviantart.com/print/8193131/ * The Ferrets Calendar first edition http://www.deviantart.com/print/8186846/ DeviantART ships everywhere on the World! You can see all the 14 images on the print product page, all the months are indicated right under the calendar page cover. The Calendar images are printed on 14 pages on quality card stock, wire spiral bound and ready-to-hang with a 8.5x11" landscape format paper. All my photos have a white border all around. It will be easy in the futur to make them framed. The calendar is a good way to have 12 of my photography and it will be a beautiful gift for any Ferrets lovers, for any animals lovers, for your veterinary, your shelter and also for people who appreciate Art of Photography. And also: * Many of my photos are available for sale in many print sizes, canvas, wrapped canvas, art block frame, coasters, mouse pads, magnets, greeting cards, postcards, puzzles and mugs. If you see something you like that doesn't say it's for sale in my gallery, you can contact me and ask me to add it to my available prints.

Over the last 15 years our Fuzzy Focus Group has demanded the highest quality of workmanship while pushing the envelop of creative and innovative designs. Hundreds of our bedding pieces have gone to shelters and met the challenges of heavy use and constant washing. This year our group demanded new and challenging solutions to the age old "where can I sleep now" and "what new toys can you make for me to hide" questions. Some were fiercely independent and sought a quiet refuge where they could isolate from the hustle and bustle of ferret play. To them we created our new "Lap of Luxury" line of sleep sacks. Sure to please the solitary ferret or the couple who seek private time, these sleep sacks offer enhanced comfort and isolation while being aesthetically pleasing. Others were social creatures who wanted to hang in groups. For them our larger design sacks and hammies offer room for the whole gang. Then the Divas wanted to show their "special" nature with custom designed hanging hammies to overlook all they dominated. See these designs and more at our website. After a good nap, all wanted new toys and challenges. Our hand made toys offer enrichment and new opportunity to create uniquely ferrety games. Then the endless quest to find the perfect hiding places began and they all vanish, which means you can never have enough. Just as in being possessed by ferrets, quantity is no substitute for quality, so the workmanship is in line with our groups demands. This means that all product is made with care and custom crafted to meet the colors and patterns that fit your world. Being sensitive to the needs of others, our group has requested a special offerring for their less fortunate cousins. To that end we have created the "Stuffed Christmas Stocking", to be gifted to others so they too may know the thrill of a bright shiny new Christmas Morning. The Stocking itself, when emptied, becomes a bright and personal sleep sack (pre-orders may have a name added). Inside the sack are sample packs of several high quality foods, Cheweasels for the teeth, bright and shiny crochet objects (Egg, Snake, Octopus, and Mouse). Once personal needs and care for others has been addressed, The HIdey Hole Gang thought that maybe the people who make this possible would like something too. We offer a selection of ferret-themed items for people as well. Indulge yourself with the knowledge that part of every purchase is sent to a sheletr each month. TuffE (our spokesferret if you have seen us at a show) and The Hidey Hole Gang thank you for spreading the gifts of love to others and wish you and yours a very joyous holiday season. I, too, invite you to shop thehideyhole.com and offer my seasonal coupon FML09 for free shipping within the United States.

The sturdy aluminum base keeps the tower upright, without a wobble no matter how many weasels are in it. This tower's benefits are multi-fold and fits easily in any play area!!!!! Woop Ti Do Slide A heavy duty tube swirls around the tower climbing to the top, which leads to a 3 ft. section descending at a 45 degree angle to the floor, securely supported by rigid tubing. This Slide is made from the same high quality material and workmanship as is the Ferret Tower of Fun. We use a 4 3/8 in diameter tube, compared to the standard 4 in tube. The heaviest commercial grade 25 ft tubing is used to create a much longer lasting tube. These tubes are three times heavier than the normal ferret tubes to allow more ferret play ! These ferret creations help to develop and build better muscle tone and are mentally stimulating. The ferrets have to conquer their fears of the unknown and problem solving getting through. Mental stimulation is something that many ferret accessories do not offer. Your fur kids will spend hours frolicking, chasing one another, and will find it a great source of entertainment and exercise. It is especially suited for use in confined areas.
