I have seen this behavior before. It happens when a ferret has not been fed regularly. They will stash food for those times when they don't get any. I took in a little girl who did this for several months before she finally learned that food would always be there for her. She stashed a ton of food under a bed. I don't think it will hurt to remove some of it but I would not remove all of it. She will just stash more. Try to live with it until she finally quits doing it. Katharine Florida [Posted in FML 6597]
