Hi First, thanks to all of you for the suggestions on how to discourage Scarlett to stop digging her food and for Sno to accept her. Ya'll are really a wonderful source of information. Scarlett has a new concern now. As I've mentioned before, she and AnnaBelle are housed in the same cage and seperate from others due to compatibility issues. I think it may be b/c Scarlett was adopted by us so young, thus being taken away from her mother so young; but she "sucks" on AnnaBelle's ears! I know I've read something about this on the FML before but I need to know do I discourage this behavior someway or is it okay? I don't want AnnaBelle to be hurt or damaged in anyway. She doesn't seem to mind or even notice Scarlett is doing it. Ahhh... the complex world of being owned by ferrets!!! Christa Sno, Pooh, Lexus, Maggie, AnnaBelle, Princess, and Scarlett Missing Holly, Michael, Lucy, and Rocky 'Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "... holy sh*t... what a ride!" Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. [Posted in FML issue 4701]
