Scoozies are a large stuffed animal that is "furbyish". The little ones make noises when you squeeze them such as yawning, sneezing, giggling, purring etc. THEY DO NOT SOUND LIKE REAL FERRETS. They are just fun little things. The big one's interact like a furby from what I understand. I have ordered three for Christmas for my kids and am waiting for them to arrive. I know they generally run $30 and up, so there are good deals on ebay. [Posted in FML issue 3258]
