For the last few months, Psycho has been muttering nonstop whenever he's out
of the ferret room.  They get two or three daily runs in the basement, and
whenever Psycho gets out of the room, he starts a deep dooking that goes on
constantly.  It's not as if there's anything new and exciting in the house -
it's been pretty much the same for years.  I doubt if it's because he's
detecting the scent of the new ferret, Gromit, since he began doing it
before Gromit joined the family.
 
I don't have a problem with this, in fact, it's extremely endearing.  I'm
just curious as to why he'd start this after being almost completely silent
all his life.  Anyone have any ideas?  Any experts in ferret language?
 
In case it makes any difference, Psycho is just turning 5 years old, and is
very healthy.  He's also deaf.  He's one of those blaze ferrets, with the
W....syndrome (forgot what it's called).
