We just got two new ferrets (our first) from a shelter, and they are well-adjusted and happy animals.. They sniff around the perimeter of our ferret-proofed home and try to get into anything they can. We feed them a few ferret treats from time to time.. They don't seem to "bond" with us, however. They don't want to sit on our lap or relax with us. They don't run away either.. they are not hard to catch to put back in their nice 2 1/2 story cage when they are through with "fun time". We have only had them for three days (but it seems like longer). Is this normal new ferret behavior?? The shelter operator told us that the ferrets were rescued from a bad home and were a bit shy. They had spent a month in the shelter before we got them. The ferrets are neutered/descented females about a year old. Any thoughts??? Anon- [Posted in FML issue 0671]
