Mish--I can totally understand how you feel.  I got my two fuzzbeans,
Sophie and Marty, last summer.  I was starting to feel that they didin't
like me--whenever I picked them up they seemed to want to get right back
down again.  I heard somewhere that it takes ferrets a little while to
bond (~ 1 year)--sure enough, it's true especially with Sophie.  When
Sophie wakes up from a nap (one of many during the day) she comes right
to me and hugs my arm so that I can lift her up.  She cuddles and stays
in my arms for a pretty long time (in ferret time).  They both follow me
wherever I go in the house.  Marty isn't as demonstrative as Sophie
although he loves to be in the middle of everything that I'm doing.  By
the time I'm finished with school, he'll have a master's degree, too :).
Anyway, don't worry--they will become cuddlers in their own time.
Enjoy--it must be wonderful to have so many warm fuzzies to look forward to.
 
:-) Stephanie, Sophie, and Marty
