Okay- I was watching a show about skunks...when they feel threatened they jump up on their back legs and stamp with their front legs at whatever they are unhappy with. I realized that is almost verbatim what my silver demon seed "Maggie" does. None of my others have ever done this- she does it at any instance- to play, at new ferrets, whatever. It is hysterical to be threatened by something that weighs a litttle over a pound:-) Has anyone else ever had a ferret that does this? Maybe Maggie Pants watches Animal Planet when I'm at work? ===== When you get a chance to be nice to someone, take it: everyone is hiking uphill. [Posted in FML issue 4194]
