Now they run, play and sometimes sleep >together in a hammock Hi Lynn, hello list Both of my dark-eyed whites will will make a "sssssssswwwiiccckkk" sound when really involved in playing....it almost seems like a "you can't catch me" challenge. They will also do it if they've stolen some treasure and you're trying to get it back from them. Yeti and Sterling are both deaf and the most vocal of our ferrets. Talking about issues...it took over a year to get the pair to be sociable to each other. And we still have occasional "king of the hammock battles" that need refereeing in the middle of the night. hope this babble helps rob lipinski phx az [Posted in FML issue 4351]
