Hi everyone I have a ? and I remember someone asking about this ? b4 but I done know what the response were. I have 4 ferrets (2 girls and 2 boys) I have never seen one of my ferrets doing this until I was on vacation last month with my parents to New Mexico. I'm deaf. My Mom called to tell me to check on one of my ferrets. My oldest boy Taz was sucking my oldest girl Kauliflower's ear while they are in sleep. I tried to get Taz to wake up so he would let go of her ear. Only God knows if he has done many b4 and I never noticed, but since I saw what Taz did for the first time. Now I have seen him doing to 2 more times in Oct. One was last nite. When Kauliflower heard me, she woke and wanted to come to me but she couldn't cuz Taz was still sucking on her ear. I had to try to open his mouth while he was sleeping, when he let go, he got a grip on her neck. I tried to his mouth again and he let go and got a grip on her body. boy I can tell that Kauliflower was saying like "mommy get him off me!!" Taz was sleeping the whole time until I got Kauliflower free of him, then Taz woke up, looking confuse like he didn't know what was going on "Poor Kauliflower had wet and red ear and I rub her ear and gave her a kiss on her ear and she turn around and kiss me like if she was saying " thanks mommy for saving me!!" I REALLY would like to know WHY Taz was sucking her ear?? Is Taz in pain while he's in sleep and sucking her ear for comfort or just like to suck on her ear like a pacifier?? Please ANYONE tell me what does that mean cuz its driving me crazy to see my poor baby getting her ear sucked. Taz ONLY does with Kauliflower's ear but not my other baby girl ferret. If anyone have any idea, I would very much appreciated what the answer would be. Thanks for listening to my concern. Buffie, Taz, Kauliflower, Hollie Berrie, & Wolfie (the CRAZIEST crew) my 2 beloved ferrets Tucker & Kasper are with God [Posted in FML issue 4298]
