Howdy y'all! Just thought we would see if there are any other ferrets out there that are doing these little things. Tavi and Pharaoh are the keepers of the clean here and though Tavi will make her rounds whilst the others are sleeping Pharaoh is a freak. Pharaoh *insists* on cleaning everyone. Often I will hear the protests of the others as he has them pinned down to clean their ears, faces etc. I'll run over to see if anyone is hurt and there he is holding, usually Vex, down cleaning ears. He doesn't do a good job though, I still have to get the Q-tips out. *sigh* The other thing is that because of Vex's filed teeth (I guess, or a lack of spit or he's just weird) he will take a few pieces of food from the bowl and gets them wet by putting them in his mouth and taking a few hits on the water bottle. This is weird all in itself but now the others have decided that this food is special and will follow Vex from bowl to water just to get pieces that fall. How weird is that? Anyway, have a great weekend! Laura and the devil dogs Pharaoh--"Hold still while I get some more spit on your face." Vex--"Stop it, the other ferrets are laughing at me. I'm not a baby and you have kibble breath!" Booger--"Hey Vex, when your "mommy" is done why don't ya get some o' that special food for me." Tavi--"At least I wait 'til they're sleeping." Jasper--zzz-snort-"somebody say sompin 'bout food?" [Posted in FML issue 2957]
