My 4 year old, dark-eyed white ferret, Jenna, just had adrenal gland surgery about a week and a half ago. I also have one other ferret, Amber. When Jenna came home from the vet, I kept her in a separate cage, but I would let her out for a little excercise while Amber was out. They would sniff each other and go their separate ways. Jenna would just go into my bottom dresser drawer for a snooze. A few days ago, I put Jenna back in her regular cage with Amber with my vet's permission. Since then, very time I let the girls out, Jenna sticks her nose in Amber's neck and follows her everywhere she goes. She has maintained this position for up to 3 hours, and only stops because Amber wants to go in the desk drawer or the dresser drawer to take a nap. As soon as Amber wakes up, Jenna assumes the position. She isn't biting Amber, and Amber does not seem to be bothered by this, but I think it's bizarre because Jenna usually just goes off and does her own thing. Jenna isn't even begging for raisins. When Amber comes for her raisins, Jenna just keeps her nose in Amber's neck while Amber snacks. Is it possible that Jenna just missed Amber, or could it be something else Jenna isn't licking Amber's neck, either...just puts her nose there and runs along side of Amber wherever she goes. If anyone has any comments or suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it! ^. .^ = . = [Posted in FML issue 3550]
