Hey everybody and every-furry-body!! In regards to fighting to establish her dominance in HER house, my Alpha ferret Skippy simply stood on Mischief's head until she understood. It was an odd site and at the time, I wasnt really sure what was going on... (my boyfriend thought that something was really wrong)... but when I got Abbygayle, Skippy did the same thing to her. <<<LOL>>> Then, last December, when I got the 3 "unwanted" ferrets, she did the same thing to them too. Skippy is defenately the alpha ferret and not a piece of fur was shed. I guess you could say that she speaks softly and rules with an iron paw. Also, when I first got Mischief, she was the cutest little fur-ball that liked to give her raisins to her stuffed kitty pal. Now, she chomps and smacks on the raisins so loud you would think that a denture-less human is in the kitchen eating. Mischief also does a snoring/humming type thing when she sleeps. Does anyone else's ferret do this? Its not really loud, and kinda cute actually, and when she was lost for 10 days, I sure did miss it. Dooks and furry ferret hugs, Pam with Abbygayle, Carrot, Mischief, Skippy, Emmy and Ruby [Posted in FML issue 3470]
