-,{@ The "blanket-in-the-corner-so-it's-really-NOT-a-corner" has to be the -,{@ best one yet. This just might work. Thanks for taking the time to -,{@ write this. Yep....I'm going to keep my trap shut from now on til I'm 100 %m sure of what I'm talking about....sorry...I' feel so dumb. Eek... -,{@ If they start to back into that corner, they get a quick trip to the -,{@ bathroom. Right now they are not trusted to be out alone. Mine either. Mostly because of safety. Anything can happen when I'm not here. Mine only get out a few hours a day....when I can supervise. I'll bet your friends had fun!! -,{@ Rose, NY, where Marshall Farms is located. They are not just breeders, -,{@ although thats what they claim for FERRETS. Under the yellow pages in -,{@ the Wayne County phone book, they are listed under "Animal -,{@ Reseach/Experimentation". From what one of the local pet stores tell :<<<<< I know....;'( -,{@ Does anyone else's ferret shiver/tremble/vibrate? Mine do occasionally -,{@ and I'm not sure why. It seems to happen when I pick them up after -,{@ they've been sleeping and carry them to a new place to explore. I -,{@ don't think it's because they are cold, because I'm comfortable in a T- -,{@ shirt (and they've got a fur coat). Are they scared? After a minute -,{@ or two, they get over it and begin to investigate. Hi...mine do that too. The first time I freaked! <G> But I asked some ferret folk and they said it was normal. Foxy does it more than the others. I don't know why though. Mine aren't scared...I wonder if maybe it's their nervous systems? <??> -,{@ Does anyone else's ferret hack/sneeze/gasp? Mine do occasionally and -,{@ I'm not sure why. It seems to happen randomly. Is it the fur-in-the- Sneezing is normal too...as for gasping...or hacking...I don't know. When they hiss in play...it sounds like a gasp sometimes. As for sneezing...I know they have alot of trouble with dust. Mine do it especially when they are under something that I don't dust much. -,{@ Funny ferret and jaws-of-steel story: I was on the phone last night, -,{@ and...remember I mentioned this penchant for beltloops? He had ahold -,{@ of one, on the jeans I was wearing. I had to get something from -,{@ across the room. I tried to have him let go, to no avail. So I just -,{@ walked across the room and back with a perfectly content-in-his- -,{@ ferocity weasel hanging from my butt. I'm thinking I can train him to -,{@ do this on command and I can take him to class as an accessory... ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!! Daisy.Lin.. And the Whackey and Wonderful 3 !! [Posted in FML issue 0610]
