Years ago we had a small children's piano which had something like 10 keys, but it wasn't very sturdy. Recently, we found that Tiny Tikes has a 4 key toddler's piano for all of about a dozen bucks so we got one. Most of the ferrets play with it a little, but during the weeks we've had it Telemna's use has increased. She will sit there and play "songs" of 2 to over 20 notes. At times she likes to turn her head and place one ear on top to listen extra carefully after hitting a note. Her favorite times to play the piano are at night or when the others are not playing. Why Em prefers night before total house bedtime (even when the others are playing) we don't know, but it may be a proximity thing since Steve and I are more likely to be in an adjoining room then. What Telemna loves most of all is to play a whole string of notes and then have us try to sing back the notes to her.
