>My kids favorite toys are sissal balls, hard jingle plastic balls any >size (my Sarah used to take a small one with her front legs and tuck it >under her chest holding it tightly with her front legs, scoot backwards >with it -was the funniest thing to watch) OMG, my Venus does the same thing with her crocheted jingle egg! The first time I saw her do it, it scared the crap out of me! I couldn't see the egg, just her scooting backwards like she was crippled. After I raced to her, heart pounding, to see what was wrong, I saw the egg. Big sigh of relief! I'd never seen a ferret do that before. And yeah, Terry, I agree, it is sooo funny to watch (well, once I knew what she was doing, that is...lol). Her other favorite toy is a ferret beanie baby. She doesn't chew on it, just carries it around. The funny thing is, she never hides it. When she's through with it, she just leaves it in the middle of the floor. Now Nicky's igloo is another story. She will try to hide it under the bed or drag it out to the living room to try to hide it under the couch. It's too funny watching her run down the hallway dragging this thing that's twice her size! There's not enough clearance for her to get it under there, but that doesn't stop her from trying. She has figured out though, that she can get it under the bed by smooshing down the top till it's flat enough to fit. Poor Nicky has to go searching for his favorite napping place like 3 times a day. Nicky and Mars don't really play with toys, just each other and me. Mars likes the towel game, as does Venus, but that's about it. Kathy and the kids, Nicky, Venus & Mars [Posted in FML issue 4621]
