Hello all, yesterday I saw a post about someone else that had a hyper-active
female badger ferret.  I agree, Stella (female badger ferret) is pertty
smart, we have a salt-n-pepper that is fairly clever but Stella is always
out looking for trouble.  Holloween..we had one of those pumnkins that a
ghost rises out of, well Stella took an intrest in it and tried to drag it
off.  She did pertty good too, took it across the length of the house and
got caught dragging it under the bed.  Our other ferrets have their hidden
stashes about the house, Stella moves her's everyday, which really causes
trouble when looking for wallets, latch-hook yawn, key's, shoe insoles ect.
When she plays with the other ferrets, she litterly runs circles around the
others.  Rascal (the salt-n-pepper male) likes to grab the other ferrets by
the scruff of the neck and roll, this appears to be very effective at
stopping the others.  He taught this trick to Kosmo (sable male departed :(
) and also has taught it to Chantille (red sable female).  Stella employees
her own methods, she likes to litterly jump on the others.  She easyly jumps
over her height standing and lands on top of whoever she's playing with
(more than one ferret..  no problem land lenghtwise), then she runs around
and does it again (hell from above).  After a few pounchings the other
ferrets uselly run off.  It was a relief to find out that she wasn't in need
of prozac (although sometimes she deserves some).  She maybe hyper but she
is fun to watch.  Still one question, people with badger ferrets, do they
have thick winter coats and have they put on weight?  Or is their
hyper-activity what keeps them trim and fit?
