Ok, I am going to start a new thread here. Here is a question to all of us who are owned by ferrets. How many of us have tail thumpers, tail waggers and what do you do to get them going. My Kyba is a major tail thumper. My definition of a "thumper" rather than a wagger is this. Kyba only wags his tail in two places, hanging over the rim of the toilet or inside of things to make that hysterical sound. He knows that I will laugh and laugh when he does it. This mainly occurs inside the Ferret Freeway as long as I run my hand along the outside first. I remember Kyba gave us a real scare once. Like most ferrets, always in mischief, Kyba found his way to my bathroom and accidently swallowed a Sudafed. We found him in full blown seizures about 10min later. We rushed him to the ER vet and a day and a half later, he came home. I tell you, the first thump after that, I was elated and knew my Kyba was ok and was returning to normal. Lucifer has only wagged two times to my memory. The first time she was just a kit. The next and last to date, was when I brought her little brother Shea home. Shea does tail wag, but you need to catch him in a REALLY excited mood. He is more vocal, which is odd because he is a deafy. So rather than wag, he dooks and hee hee's and chatters the most. Lets see how many other waggers and thumpers are out there and what does that crazy sound do to us hoomans. Sandy Z and the Troublesome Threesome Lucifer, Kyba and Shea [Posted in FML issue 5083]
