I have an attack ferret named Chocolate.  She is cute and playful most of
the time but if someone other than me squeaks a certain toy she turns into
a demon.  The first incident was with my nephew.  Unfortunately, I did
not see this incident.  The second incident with another nephew and this
attack was more serious.  Chocolate drew blood in seven different places.
Like I said, she is normally a well behaved ferret but apparently this toy
makes a squeak that causes her to get hyper aggressive.  It seems that
Otis and her are related.  Any ideas on this behaviour?
 
I have tried to use water in a water pistol before.  The ferrets seem
to think it is kewl and fun to be shot by a water loaded water pistol.
However, mix the water with vinegar and they don' like it at all.  And, if
they are naughty enough the vinegar acts as a conditioner, their fur can
get very nice and soft.
