In response to Gladys's post about ear sucking: when I worked in a pet store (nice small place; the manager has five ferrets of her own), we always saw the little babies sucking on each others ears, especially when they were sleepy. I think it's just a comfort thing, like human kids sucking their thumbs (I believe i read that somewhere as well). It's cute as anything, too!
