Lately I take Pester to the bedroom when I got to bed and let her run loose. I have to block the hall way off where she has learned to burrow into the furniture and the only way to prevent that is to keep her away from any furniture. So hence the block. But for sure Pester loves to climb up under the bed spread and lay next to me and sleep. When I get up I reach under the heavy blanket bed spread to find her where she always meets my hand with a shower of soft kisses over and over. When I pick her up she does that all over again showing how happy she is to sleep with her humink. For sure it is a two way deal. In such small innocent ways a ferret will 'tell' you what they think. One just has to learn their language where as smart as a ferret is they just cannot learn ours. I do think over time they learn their name. Kodo and Byte-me knew theirs, I could tell in those small innocent ways they knew 'who' I was talking to. Just pay attention to those small clues to see how your fuzzy 'talks' to you!
