While this doesn't solve problems of food digging, I did come up with a way
to make my kids clean up after themselves. They don't like to eat directly
out of the dish - instead, they grab about 5 chunks of food (I can't figure
out how Pris gets that much into her mouth - she's a petite thing), carry
them off to a corner, and munch. They have food stashed, plus all around
the bowl.
Now when things get messy, food all over, I let the food bowl go empty. I
watch as they sneak off to their hiding places to gather up and eat all of
the food they've stashed away. When they've finished that off, usually only
1 or 2 meals worth, I refill the bowl.
I have a question about hyper ferrets. My kids are 4 months old, and won't
sit still for a second, even for petting. I've gotten Sebastian to calm
down for a few minutes (once), but Pris is just nuts. My guess is that
they're just young and playful.
I did find instant ferret intertainment. They love to play under a throw
rug. Lift that up quickly, and instant Weasel War Dance, keep doing it, and
viola - two psycho ferrets.
Thanks to Melissa for the idea on ping-pong ball fun. I know mine will love
it. I'll write back with the results.
Frank (and Sebastian and Pris)
