Yes, deaf ferrets still talk, which puzzles me.
 
It took me longer to train my deaf ferret, Fannie, not to bite and one day
she may have come close to a kill and test situation because of it.  I don't
let her out when visitors are in the house.  At almost 1 1/2 years, she
still has some learning to do and also startles easier.  Be extra careful
she doesn't get outside with out a leash because she won't hear you calling
her back.
 
Thanks for the description of the bathtub game; it might be fun for us to
try.  The M on her ear could be for Marshall Farms.
 
Congratulations on your adorable new Valentine baby and have fun!
