Hi, to the person owned by Kitee, let me tell you, I'm having some similiar probs with my two monsters....and one of them has decided to be *really* original and not do corners, but go anywhere there's a straight edge! But anyway, what I'm trying now is what I read in the ferret faq written by Pat Greene (thanks Pat!), which is to put bedding in the corners where you don't want to the ferrets to go...theoretically, they won't go on anything soft and cushy. I'll let you know how it works out! Has anyone tried teaching their ferret some balance by letting them fall into a barrel of crumpled newspapers and saying "no!" when they do? I read this in Barron's ferret book and was thinking of trying it. Punk is a real klutz. Another question (someday I might be able to offer some answers!): Is there anyway to determine an approximate age of a ferret? The pet store told me Rock, my white-footed sable male, was about A) 9 weeks B)14 weeks. Well, I think its pretty impossible that he's 9 weeks as he's 3 times bigger than Punk who *is* nine weeks. He's about 16 inches from head to the end of his tail and weighs 2 1/2 pounds. Does this sound right for 14 weeks? Happy ferreting! Tracy, Punk & Rock [Posted in FML issue 0653]
