Hello, To this question I would defently reply Yes. I haven't got a lot experince in more than one ferret but I had this beauty for 4 years now and she knows her name and me very well. I even tested her by calling another name using the same tone but she wouldn't go for that. At one time when I was going away for a three months long trip I left her with my parents. The first week she was sulking a lot refused to let neither of my parents touching her but then after a while she settled down, so I actually thought she'd forgotten about me and that fellt a little bit sad. But when I got home she went mad, she was jumping all over me and she wouldn't leave my side and when it was time to go back to our own place she sat down on my bags and the look she gave was saying " Don't you dare leaving without me" She is not only recognizing me also people she meet more often and since she is a little bit of a biter this is easy to tell, she never bites people she knows and of course likes. One last thing, about ferrets eyesight, many times I've heard that it's not bery good but there's been a few times when I doubt this. Like once I'd put up a new poster while my ferret was asleep and when she got up she took her normal route from bed to litter box when she suddenly stoppes and looks up the wall at the new poster and I know she noticed that that wasn't there before. Bye for now Helen & Wilma [Posted in FML issue 0888]
