My perfect little boy is turning one year old on Sunday.  We're having a
party (little tiny raisin cake) with presents (laxatone and a new ball).
 
Someone asked about a 4-5 month old ferret biting.  My third ferret, Snoopy
was a dedicated biter.  We got him at @ 3 months old and it has taken two
months of consistant training to convince him he can't bite me or my SO.  It
was easier for me since I'm with him all the time but my hubby travels and
every time he came home it was "Hi daddy!  CHOMP!!" Be patient.  It takes
longer to convince older ferrets but if you're consistant and loving they
will get it.
 
Meeko and Snoopy would like me to pass on their new favorite toy idea to all
other ferret Mommies and Daddies.  LEMONS!  My in-laws brought a bag from
their tree and the kids went nuts rolling them on the ground.  Each ferret
selected their lemon, gathered it under their tummy and scratched away.  The
room smelled wonderful and so did they.  I take the lemons away after a
while because I think they get a little crazy.  When life gives you lemons,
give them to your ferrets!
 
Oh, I taught Percy to finally give kisses (be forewarned, it's a little
gross) Coating my lips with ferretone didn't work but one day I was eating a
chocolate cookie and he was begging.  I admit it...I let him lick my tongue
(but just a little).  Now all I have to do is touch his nose with my tongue
and he will give kisses for HOURS.
 
Happy woozling

Meeko "Lemons! More Lemons!"
Snoopy "I will steal your lemon and hide it in my hidey-hole."
and Percy "I'm a big boy now!  I want chocolate!!!!!"
