I'm interested to find out how ferrets in single-ferret households act. Vanilla tends to be a loner and spends a lot of time by herself. She comes out when she wants, doesn't necessarily play (although she's 6 years old now), just knocks some things over before finding a new place to curl up. Is this a sign of old age or because she's a single ferret? I tried getting a second one once but it didn't work (she let me know by defiantly pooping on my bedspread while I watched that she didn't want any brothers or sisters). Also, since her surgery, she's really REALLY sleeping a lot. Is this normal? Thanks... Shelly and Vanilla [Posted in FML issue 0831]
