Sure, I'm game.  Ferret Psych is one of my favorite topics, too.  Got a list
about a mile long -- where do you want to start?  I'd like to figure out why
all of my ferrets have a messiness fetish.  Or would one call it an
"untidiness compulsion disorder?" Anyway, why are they so disciplined about
making a mess?
 
Here's a sampling of some other ferret paradoxes:
 
- Why is toilet bowl water better for to drink than feed bottle water?
- Why are shoes liners removed before the shoe is dragged under the bed?
- Why do they like a dip in the cold toilet but hate a bath in the warm tub?
- Where do they get the gall to accept a treat for stomping loudly in the
  litterbox and then directly poop under your desk?
- How do they *know* you'll put up with their shennanigans?
 
That's a start. If someone can answer one of those questions to anyone
else's satisfaction s/he deserves a spot in the Ferret Psych Hall o' Jeez.
