Well, at least that's how "Little Man" see's it. I've heard of "picky
eaters", and out of our 6 ferrets, we have one particularly picky eater.
Salty doesn't like anything but her ferret food, petromalt and ferretone.
The other vultures will take anything they see you eating - even plain old
bread (but only if you're EATING it). But Salt's finicky eating habits were
NOTHING! Meet Little Man.
I made the mistake of OFFERING him a noodle that the other beggers were
eating. He sniffed it and made this awful gagging noise as if I just stuck
my finger in the back of his throat. His eyes squinted up and he looked at
me as if I just tried to kill him. He backed away, and took off to play.
Thinking it was just the noodle, I offered him a COOKIE one time after that
because he was nebbing in my face as I ate it. So after offering him the
cookie, he did that gaggin noise again like I was gagging him on purpose.
And the look I got afterwards made me crack up because he GLARED at me with
these squinty eyes like I did it on purpose. We've tried offering anything
with the same reaction. And we thought Salty was picky! At least she's not
psycho as well!
