Hi Everyone!
 
My ferret Tabitha enjoys eating (not just chewing and ripping apart) towels,
cushions, pillows, the old pair of jeans that I gave her to run through,
wool slippers, etc.  Does anyone know if she's just teething and will
outgrow this or is she one of those rare ferrets who've acquired a taste for
cotton?  She's about five months old, she's not spayed yet but she's having
her operation in November.  I hate having to take away her favorite toys but
since she's essentially trying to digest cotton fibers, I really can't let
her have these things anymore unless I can find a way to get her to stop
eating them.  My ferret proofed rooms are leaving her little to play with
and she seems to be getting a little bored sometimes.  Any ideas?
 
Keith:          Hey, stop chewing that towel!
Tabitha:        Well give me my jeans back!! DOOK!!
