Hello to everyone,
 
I have a really weird situation here.  I have been a subscriber for almost
4 years, a ferret owner for the same amount of time, and I also help run a
shelter, and I have NEVER seen a post on this.  So, I need some help.
 
I have 4 fuzzies and only one is the issue here: Bartles.  In November
last year, Bartles had a right adrenalectomy.  After much TLC and a long
recovery period, he is fine, bouncing around, weasle war dancing, dooking
away.  Last month, I discovered he had an enlarged spleen - he is on "vital
watch" as I call it, to make sure everything is OK.  Blood tests came back
CLEAR!!
 
The problem - ever since Bartles had his adrenalectomy, he has started
displaying the most bizarre behaviour.  Are you ready for this?  He is
trying to have sex with his brother Jaymes.  Now, I have nothing against
homosexual behaviour, but I do draw the line at attempted incest!!  LOL.
Has anyone ever seen this or heard of this?  My vet thought it could be a
dominance thing, but I disagree.  That just is not his type of personality.
Also, he doesn't try to have sex with Indy - his "other brother - not
related!!" He is 4 years old (March 1, 2000) and is neutred and all that.
 
It is not really a problem, but it iz very bizarre.  I know it is not
hurting him or his brother Jaymes (maybe Indy feels left out, I don't know,
he never mentioned anything about it!!!), but I was just curious if anyone
has ever seen this?
 
Get those thinking caps on and quit laughing at my fuzzy!!!
 
Thanks in advance, and take care,
 
Marion
