I had heard stories for years about different ferrets that had special traits that one individual was known for and wondered why with all those I had why none had special traits until I stopped to think about it. Nibble-ed had one, she would 'steal' a towel or pillow case and take it under a couch where she would wrap that around her so all the corners and edges were under her body leaving the outside smooth like a raising pile of bread dough. Thought she was hiding I think. Then there was RePete, he would get into the 'hidy hole' I made for them, a 10 inch cube box lined with carpet on bottom and all sides with a 2 1/2 inch round door knob hole for entry. He would get inside and pull a rag in to plug up that hole thus 'closing the door' to keep the draft out. Peekaboo had one too. I have a constant self filling water supply for them, but she gets up on the lip, with one paw and then the other splashes water out onto the cage bottom. When she has a good puddle she will put the top of her head in it like she is going to stand on her head thus getting her head and front quarters soaked. She does that every day. Byte-me was my most favorite of all, she would know when I went to bed and would get up under the bed spread to curl up in a ball to sleep beside me. I very much enjoyed her company. There was a time when she would get there before me but would be on 'my' side of the bed. I could communicate with her. One day she was on 'my' side sleeping, so I reached under the covers and gently lifted her up, and placed her on 'her' side of the bed but kept my hand on her for about 5 minutes. She relaxed and from that day forward she never did go to my side to crash. Kodo would get into a pillow case and raise holy hell clawing and just having the best time fighting or playing with some invisible thing in there. That would wake me up to find this pillow being attacked from inside in a veracious seething rolling ball of claws and fur. Ha! Not every night but quite often. They all had their own little quirks that entertained me constantly. Just a good bunch of little guys to have around, poops and all.
