Duss-T "prays" also - I think I read somewhere that mitts are more likely to
pray than others - I can't remember where I read that, so if someone has a
non-mitt that prays, forgive me.  Cindy's Axel would pray when "asked" which
I thought was very clever.
 
Pawing at the mouth is different - and just that - aggressive pawing at the
mouth - usually indicative that something is wrong - some feel this means
the ferret is nauseated - I've seen this most often in insulinoma ferrets,
gatric ulcer ferrets, and ECE ferrets.
