What holiday gifts did your ferrets like best?  Here the tissue paper was
the rage, followed by a smooth gift paper a friend sent which Whizbang
likes to stroke, and a battery operated tiny banjo which brings them to
us almost as well as the squeaky toys or bells.
 
Speaking of bells: there was a bell group playing on PBS which the
ferrets LOVED.  They were mesmerized.
 
Hilbert is playing the barrier right now.  He loves rhythms.  This is one
of those nights where placing him outside the ferret room just causes him
to turn around and play the barrier from the other side.
