My Persephone is a trembler, too. She doesn't seem to be scared- she gives ferret kisses, and likes to be held. But occasionally when we pick her up, she vibrates like an unbalanced washing machine. We have had her about a year, and it hasn't stopped -- but it doesn't happen all the time. Jason- Glad to see there's another Greek myth ferret fan. Of course, with a name like Jason, you would be subject to a number of jokes along those lines if you knew my dad. : ) Our Pandora is a silver mitt. She's about 3 years old and has a beautiful long winter coat. Paula Pandora and Persephone [Posted in FML issue 0611]
