Well, I'd heard about ferrets that wag their tails like puppies, but
never saw it, much less in my own.
Just NOW, I was playing with Timmy who was under a throw rug, and I was
"scritch, scritching" the top in front of where he was under the rug. All
of a sudden I heard "thumpa thumpa thumpa, rapidly from under the carpet. I
didn't believe it was what I thought it was, and repeated it 3 or 4 times.
Fred came along another tunnel under the rug to investigate, and after a
scritch scritch on top of the rug a few inches in front of where he was, I
could see his tail wagging 4 or 5 times from side to side quickly! We
continued a good 5 or 6 minutes until I just had to go to the computer &
express this new (to my guys) behavior!
Now if I just can get this on video.
Which brings up the question; If I and others' can capture on video some
neat ferret behavior, is there anyone who would like to host such videos'
converted to quick time movies? My new Mac 840AV I bought just so I could
do this. The first thing I did was the NBC 2 minute BFF report. Roger is
kind enough to be building a BFF home page that will have this and other
related BFF stuff so we don't over use this forum. Pam Green has said she's
already using a lot of space on her friendly host's computer. ( a two
minute segment takes ten megs. of space in a compressed form, so most clips
would be smaller I would think).
Comments welcome on email so we again don't use up too much public
space.
Sincerely, Gary
