I raise both ferrets and fancy rats. I had been working in the office
(where some rats are) and took out the little hairless dumbo (I've named
him Baron) :) anyway he crawled into the pocket of my tee shirt and went
to sleep. I proceeded to work quite some time on the computer and forgot
he was there. Then I went into the ferret room and started cleaning and
snuggling them. I was holding each one and giving them a bit of ferretone.
Well, finally Baron woke up and stuck his head out!. I happened to be
holding Dark Star (a rather large hob) and the two met face to face. Well,
both took a couple of sniffs and pulled away. Both seemed equally
confused, but no agression from either one. I guess that my ferrets just
don't have that "killing instinct" !!! That suits me just fine.
