Hi everyone!
 
Just a brief re-cap of who I am.  We have 4 ferrets.  Two 7 month old
female sables, one 4 month old female albino and one 3 month old female
sable, our newest addition.  Had her for a couple of weeks now.
Everything is working out fine.  All aggression has worked its way out
between the new baby (Ayla) and our older female (Salt).  Everyone gets
along like true sisters.  Here's where the question comes in.  The other
night as I was putting them to bed, Salt headed to the hammock on her
own.  I noticed the baby was slowing down a bit, so I plopped her in the
hammock next to Salt.  As I hunted the apartment down for the other two,
I snuck a peak in the hammock and noticed the cutest sight!  Ayla was
laying on top of a curled up Salt, with her paws around Salt's face and
she was sucking on Salt's ear.  At first I thought she was cleaning her
or nibbling on her ear, but as I watched, she was suckling on her ear!
I've heard of kittens that suckle on anything they come across when they
are weaned too early.  Although it was adorable, is there anything to be
concerned about?  Or should I invest in a pacifier?  ;-)

Salt (why is my ear sopping wet??)
Ayla (I don't know what you're talking about, go back to sleep)
