I'm posting this to 2 lists. I gave in to temptation yesterday and got an absolutely gorgeous silver baby gir (Luna) l to keep my 12 week old boy company. (I just couldn't resist!) My question is this- when I was bringing her home she started 'crying'- such a heartbreaking sound! I assumed she'd be ok when she settled in here. She seems to be doing fine- she's a little small yet to really be able to play with Gizmo. (he's a little rough, but she seems to be willing to give it back to him, just too small yet) The thing is, she makes this odd noise *constantly*. Sounds like she's crying or in some kind of distress, but she does *all* the time! When she's playing, exploring, eating (!)- the only time she does it less is when I'm holding her. I don't know if it's insecurity- I just brought her home yesterday- or if she's just more vocal and that's just her way of communicating. She sounds like a baby! (or, come to think of it, like the geese i've heard flying by overhead!) But, she's active and curious- exploring her new world a little at a time, she initiates play with me and with Gizmo, and wants to be held. The only time she seems to not do it is if she's REALLY interested in something- usually something she's not supposed to be getting into, like my computer keyboard. Has anyone ever had a very vocal ferret? Is this something that might be indicating some problem? She doesn't seem to be in *any* discomfort- is she just a little crybaby? <g> blessings~ shari "what I am is what I am are you what you are or *what*?" [Posted in FML issue 3331]
