I never even thought about using Rescue Remedy with the ferrets! Haven't
needed it either, thank goodness. Growing up, Mom used Rescue Remedy to
help us cool flaming tempers (always drunk diluted with water & in a
plastic cup). We'd drink the dilution, then fling the cup at the floor or
across the room -- and it worked (throwing the cup did quite a bit
to work us through our temper)! With Ferrets, they obviously can't
throw the cup, but that doesn't change the properties of the
medicine. I'll be adding that to my slowly growing arsenal of things
that'll work with both humans and ferrets.
