Iguanas like being high up in trees, where they can look down at everything. So the ferrets, of course, love to climb up his cage (a 3'x4'x3' thing, made of 1 in. fencing) and stand on top of it, right above him. Sicard (the iguana) starts puffing up and hissing; the ferrets simply snuffle at him to annoy him (knowing he can't touch them since the cage is between them!) As for when the cage is NOT between them... well, once Shadow (ferret #1) discovered that we had left Sicard's cage door open a crack (at the time, his cage was a glass store display counter) -- not enough for the ferret to get in or the lizard to get out, but enough for a ferret paw to get in and open the door further... I was in the shower at the time. All the sudden we heard CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! we go rushing in, and find Shadow huddling in the corner while Sicard tried to whip her with his tail. He kept hitting the glass instead of her, but she seemed awfully scared, poor thing. (Of course, she probably deserved it. The very first time they met, Shadow seemed to think Sicard was a big green tennis ball with a tail, and went bounding towards him. Lizards do not like being bounded at. He ran. She said, "Great! It wants to play chase!" Iguanas don't like to play chase, either....) -Rochelle [Posted in FML issue 0656]
