I just wanted to thank everybody who replied to my request for information on ferret communications - i've had over a dozen replies all really helpful, interesting & informative - i'm particularly interested in misunderstood play behaviours and in particular the 'weasel war dance' which several people mentioned including the terrible stories about it being confused as a sign of rabies. If any one has any info. about these i would be very grateful - especially where the name comes from! But even if i get nothing else the replies i have had so far have really been valuable - so thanks very much to everyone who replied and to the FML for being such a fantastic source of information - i would never have gathered this kind of knowledge from books - THANK YOU with flowers!!!
