I have 3 ferrets right now but my albino is deaf. I talk to him all the time and am trying to teach him some sign language. The vet even talks to him like any other ferret who hears. He said they don't hear but by talking to them too they sense it in your body language. We've had a total of 7 ferrets over the years and Mr Casper has been the only deaf one. The other 2 ferrets treat him the same as others. I shouldn't say we have ferrets, I think they have us is more like it. We're well trained humans. Mary [Posted in FML 6472]
