Just wanted to send a word of encouragement about the little found ferret who doesn't know how to play. I have a ferret from a shelter and the shelter mom told me that he did not know how to play when he arrived--the other ferrets had to teach him how. He would watch them and watch them. He's made his home with us for two years now and I can happily report that this guy LOVES to play now. Every morning he does marvelous twists and turns and somersaults, and he loves his little toys very much and carries them carefully around...and he plays tag with his "brother" and frolics around, romps in bags and boxes and even flicks his tail when he's in the tunnel. You should see him with a rattly-ball. So be encouraged! Kate, Mr. Montgomery the playful, and Madison the grandiose [Posted in FML issue 3046]
