Problem: Article: Fill the bottom of your tub up enough to cover your ferret’s body while leaving its head above the water. The temperature should be just slightly warmer than lukewarm. Scrub your ferret with a ferret-safe shampoo purchased from your local pet store or vet.  Never use a human shampoo or conditioner on your ferret, as these can be toxic to them. Bathing your ferret too frequently can actually remove natural oils from their skin and make their odor stronger. Unless your ferret is excessively dirty, bathing it once a month is usually sufficient and healthy. Pour a small amount of ear cleaning solution into a bowl. Dip the end of a single cotton swab into the liquid. Then, hold your ferret firmly and rub the swab along its outer ear. Move the swab deeper into the ear canal, slightly rotating it as you clean.  Ear cleaning solution is available for purchase at most pet stores. Swirling the swab around keeps you from pushing any wax deeper into the ear canal. As each swab gets dirty, replace it with a fresh one. Part of the end of the swab should always stay visible, even while you are cleaning your ferret’s inner ear. Otherwise, you risk going too deep and damaging the ear. Purchase a soft toothbrush and toothpaste designed for cats or kittens. Hold your ferret carefully in your lap and use a single hand to pull up the gums on a single side of your ferret’s mouth. Apply a pea-sized amount of toothpaste on to the brush. Place the brush against your ferret’s gums and rotate in small circles.  Your ferret may not like getting its teeth brushed at first. Try to start off slow by only doing a few teeth at a time. If you are worried about getting bitten by your ferret, talk to your vet about bringing it in for professional teeth cleanings. Once your ferret reaches its maturity, then its hormones will go into overdrive. This can result in an uptick in the odor of both males and females. Spaying or neutering can reduce your ferret’s potential marking and make them healthier overall.  Female ferrets who are not spayed can actually develop anemia over time from repeated heat cycles. Neutering a male ferret can lead to an increased risk of adrenal gland disease. Discuss the pros and cons of neutering with a veterinarian.
Summary: Bathe your ferret once a month at most. Clean your ferret’s ears on a weekly basis. Brush your ferret’s teeth once a week. Spay or neuter your ferret at 4 months of age.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Most modern TVs have at least one full-size (Type A) HDMI port, which is 13.9 mm x 4.45 mm in size. These ports are usually labeled "HDMI." If there is more than one port, each will be labeled with a number (e.g., HDMI 1, HDMI 2). Some TVs also have HDMI ports on the front or side panel. If the device has the same size HDMI port as your TV (Type A/13.99 mm x 4.45 mm), you'll just need a standard Type-A HDMI cable, which has the same 19-pin connector on both sides. However, some devices (often cameras and portable media players) have smaller HDMI ports, which means you'll need a different type of cable:    Type C/Mini-HDMI: This type of HDMI port is often found on somewhat older DSLR cameras and camcorders. The dimensions are 10.42 mm x 2.42 mm, which is a lot smaller than Type A. If your device has this port, you'll need a Mini-HDMI-C to HDMI-A cable.  Type D/Micro-HDMI: Even smaller than the Type C, this 6.4 mm x 2.8 mm port is commonly found on small recording devices such as the GoPro and some smartphones. You'll need a Micro HDMI-D to HDMI-A cable in this situation. Turn on the device you want to connect to the TV, and then gently insert the matching end of the cable into its HDMI port. You should only be able to insert the HDMI plug into the port in one direction. Never force the cable plug into the port since doing so could damage both the cord and the device. Turn on the TV if you haven't already done so, and then connect the cable securely. If your TV has multiple HDMI ports, take note of the HDMI port number you're using. Use the SOURCE or INPUT button on your TV or remote to select the HDMI port. You'll usually have to press it a few times until you reach the right port number. Once you reach the correct source, you should see the device's image on the screen.  If you're using Windows, press ⊞ Win+P to open the Windows Project panel, and then select an option for displaying the screen on the TV. If you want to mirror the desktop, for example, select Duplicate. If you have a Mac, the screen should automatically be mirrored on the TV. If the dimensions look funny, navigate to Apple menu > System Preferences > Displays > Display and select Default for display. If you need to enter a specific resolution, chose Scaled instead and enter that resolution now. If you've connected a computer to the TV and want to make sure the audio comes through the TV's speakers, follow these steps:   Mac: Navigate to Apple menu > System Preferences > Sound > Output and select your TV or HDMI output.  Windows: Right-click the volume icon in the system tray (next to the clock), select Sound Settings, and select your computer's default audio device, often called Speakers (High Definition Audio), from the "Choose your output device" menu.

SUMMARY: Locate an available HDMI port on your TV. Get the right HDMI cable. Connect one end of the cable to the device. Connect the other end of the cable to the TV. Switch to the HDMI source on your TV. Configure your computer's audio to route through the TV (optional).

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Grab a long raw carrot from the grocery store for the snowman’s nose. Place it in the middle of the top snowball. Make sure you place it so there is room above it for eyes and below it for a mouth. Making the snowman your own is all about creativity. If you have something else that you think would look cool as a nose, use that instead. Place them above the carrot and space them evenly to the right and the left. Push them into the head, and twist them in a circle so that they stick in the snow. Any round object will work for the eyes. Other options to use for eyes are yellow ping-pong balls, blue rubber bouncy balls, or large green plastic gems. Use the same thing you used for the eyes to make the mouth, or mix it up with other round objects. Place the mouth under the nose, but not too close to the middle section. Cut a mouth out of felt, stick some fake plastic teeth in the face, or bend a piece of rubber tubing into a smile. Find a couple of sticks that are about one inch (2.5 cm) or less wide and around three feet (1 meter) long. Push the sticks into the middle section of the snowman. Position the sticks so they are angled up or down, giving the snowman the look you like best.  Before the arms, if you want, put a shirt or coat of some kind around the body of the snowman. Also use old broom sticks, golf clubs, or fake skeleton arms! This is where you have even more space for creativity. Grab an old ball cap, cowboy hat, fedora, or top hat for the snowman’s head. Wrap a colorful scarf around its neck. Use old stuff that you don’t mind possibly ruining. Add a tie, sunglasses, or any other accessories to make the snowman stand out from the rest.
Summary:
Stick a carrot in the middle of the head for a nose. Use buttons, pebbles, or charcoal for eyes. Make a mouth with a row of pebbles or charcoal. Add two sticks for the snowman’s arms. Top off the snowman with a hat and scarf.
