Just had to share this with everyone-- the funniest thing i've seen in a long time! I was eating a banana with Illura nearby, which she has never experienced before. I gave here a little bit, which she ate but wasn't that thrilled over. Then she grabbed hold of the end of the peel, and would not let go! She was absolutely fascinated, trying to drag the banana out of my hand while I was eating it. No interest in the edible part, she just wanted the peel! When I was finished she dragged it triumphantly under the desk and left it there. I think she thinks it's her kill. Anyone else's ferrets do anything like this?
