I have already provided a private reply to the original posting on hissing, so I thought I would share my take/experience with hissing ferrets. Basically the hissing means, You're "ticking me off." LOL Out of the 12 I have, only 2 get overly "grumpy" when another fuzzie is bugging them too much. Some just squabble and squeal to tell their displeasure, while some just dont care. It's all in their own personality. Have a great one. Neil [Posted in FML issue 5148]
