Well I made it back from the woods and picked up Bob and Marmot from the
shelter where they were staying, all is right with the world again.  This
was the first time I have been away from them and I missed them quite a bit.
 
I spent most of yesterday catching up on FML's an other e-mails, quite a
task when you have 63 of them sitting there.  Just a couple of quick notes,
on ferrets that seem to play a little too hard sometimes, mine fight quite
a bit when they are out, but they are the best of friends, they always
cuddle together when they sleep.  Sometimes, marmot, the little girl will
squeal a bit when Bob has her pinned, but he always lets go right away.
 
As hard as it may be sometimes I have to subscribe to the no blood no foul
rule, they know their own tolerence level much better than we do.  If it
does get exceptionally violent and skin is broken or things along those
lines it may be indicative of other problems, get both the wounder and the
woundee to the vet to be checked out.  They can't tell us what is wrong so
they may act out like that if they are in pain or suffering in some way.
 
A last quick note, the closet cage has been completed, they now have a 3x3x5
cage to play in with a plexiglass face, 3 levels, 2 hammocks, and room to
play while in the cage, they are so happy with it that when they get tired
of playing they go back into their cage to sleep, even though the door is
open and they don't have too.  It's great
