Hi! Pogo, my first and still the greatest, *LOVES* Gummi Bears!! He does his "poor starving ferret" routine, with his hands on my leg, looking up at me with the big, sad eyes that say "Can I PLEEEEEEEZE have some?" When he was little, he stole a Dot (sort of a big, chewy gumdrop) and darted under a chair. I was new at ferret-parenting then, and was afraid it would be bad for him. It took me about 5 min. to get him out from under the chair, and then pried the Dot out of his little jaws (it nearly filled his mouth!) I put him down, and he did the "angry ferret" song and dance, bouncing and squeaking. I reached down to pet him and say "I'm sorry," and he *very deliberately* BIT me! I guess he WAS mad!! BTW, this is one of three times he's bitten hard on purpose, he's usually angry or terrified when he bites seriously, so in his mind anyway, it's justified. :) Other favorite treats: Pogo: candy, chicken, ham; Bungee: popcorn; Tinkerbelle: cookies; Toodles: too hyper to pay attention to *anything* and they ALL love to steal the cat's Iams "Less Active" cat food (???) Cheers, Eric, Alyssa, Pogo, Bungee, Tinkerbelle, Toodles, and Bandit (me) (wife) ^----------ferrets---------------^ (cat) [Posted in FML issue 0469]
