Just like to say that my ferret, Rikki, has two favorite treats- grapes,
and bannanas (a little slice).  But recently, I've discovered 'ferret
treats', and brought him some chicken-flavored ones.  Well, he really likes
them, but not as much as Ferretone.
 
    His usual nickname is "ferry!" or, "aw, ferry!".  I also call him a
silly goose, which confuses some of my friends ("goose?  I thought you had a
ferret?").  My Mom started (and now, I do too) calling him
"ferret-faced-boy".  My brother calls him a "were-rat".  My Grandmother
calls him "you little rascal", and I don't think any of my other family
members or friends have nicknames for him.
 
(oh.  sometimes he's 'the beast', 'beastie' or, if i'm vaguely annoyed,
'pas-qoon-yak',I don't know how to spell it, but it means 'pest' in polish,
or brat. sometimes also 'un huron' which is ferret in spanish (or maybe
 Russian) or malinki yozik, which is small hedgehog in Russian)
