Ferrets like people have a food preference. Have five ferrets and after watching them explore treats, it's amazing to see them pick their likes. Purchased L&M Chicken and Chicken/Cheese combined. Held chicken in one hand, Chicken/Cheese in the other. Hands open, five ferrets came to inspect and make a selection. They smelled, pushed at the hand of Chicken, no takers yet. Five decided the next hand needed inspection. This hand held Chicken and Cheese. To my surprise, each took a piece, ignoring the Chicken only. Ever notice ferrets going thru a treat dish with no fight over the same nugget. Each ferret has their own likes and dislikes, same as people. Over a length of time, I now have treats in different pockets, since I know their preference. Looking down to a nug on my leg, I know what pocket belongs to a begger below. Nothing but the Best for my Special Fuzzybutts. Debbie [Posted in FML issue 2981]
