I have really enjoyed reading the stories on the bad reputations! I wanted to share about our kids! We have three fuzzies and they are all so different. One boy in particular (Scooter) we adopted from a shelter and he was a big time bite. He didn't really care for people at all when we got him, and only liked the company of the other two ferrets. Well after a week or two we realized he was deaf, this realization dramatically helped us in working with him, and understanding him. After 3 years he is now a total lover boy. He loves us so much, gives kisses, cuddles and follows us around. Sometimes however he still does the lick, lick, Chomp and can really get you hard. There is absolutely no aggression behind those chomps though, and in the next second he can be showering me with kisses or beginning a war dance. A lot of people will say "oh that's the mean one" or something to that effect... I have to come to my baby's defense and tell them, he is not mean! He just expresses himself in a different way!! LOL We have a little girl (Annabelle) that was a really bad biter as a kit, now she is mostly a love bug, however as so many tiny girls she is very bossy and always wants her way... if she does not get her way (whether you knew she wanted something or not!) she will nip your chin or nose... So again people think she is mean... LOL my husband and I of course understand her and adore her for her little silly behaviors! We do have one boy (Oly) who is a great guy to introduce to people! He has never bitten, even as a kit. He is a gentle and sweet soul who is a great ferret representative... He is the one that everyone gets to hold when they meet the kids! LOL Well those are my little ones and their reputations! Even thought they are INCREDIBLE little ones, some will never know! Lori Olson in Eagle River AK [Posted in FML 7491]
