Hi there, Dooks to all, I have a crying baby who is a year and half old now. When he was little, he would cry if he was left alone in his cage or if he couldn't see us. I couldn't stand it, so I picked him up everytime and cuddled him. I felt so sorry for him. I knew that I would be owned by him, but so what. He still crys if I go uptown, so I usually take him with me. He is a 3lb boy now. I say just pick him and love him. What's the worst that can happen, you get a cuddly ferret.
