I don't know what the reality is about squeaky toys and ferrets in general, but I do know that my boys especially get very maternal and worried-looking when you squeak a squeaky toy, and they don't like it one bit. My albino will bite you every time, and he isn't a biter. Three of my boys will climb you every time and bite at you sometimes and truly look worried and stressed until you knock it off. My last two girls would come, but they weren't as worried, and Renate couldn't have cared less. It is good to know they are drawn to it if I need to squeak it; but I don't torture them with it! :) -April AC [Posted in FML issue 4381]
