Hello Fellow Ferret Lovers:
 
In response to Jalene's question: our little Katy loves to have her neck
scratched behind her ears!  I do this almost every morning before I let them
out.  After she's enjoyed having her scratch, she stretches out luxioursly,
puts her front paws straight out in front of her, hind legs back, and slides
down her ramp* to exit their cage.  Too cute:) Sasha meanwhile, will stop
for a second to give kisses but doesn't have time for scratches.
 
Sasha loves a jar of chicken baby food once in a while, but little Katy
couldn't care less.  After several attempts to introduce this new food to
her and being rejected, I took a bit of warmed chicken on my finger and put
it on her nose so that she had to lick it off - ever since then she loves
the chicken baby food as much as Sasha.  I'm wondering, does the smell of
some foods deter them from trying new food?
 
Hugs to all the ferrets,
Jean and her sweetheart ferret Katy, and
Sasha the Adventurer
