PG> For her first seven or eight months Pixxel would wake up and drag PG> herself around by her front legs for a minute or two, stretching PG> and shaking her rear half. The apparent numbness never seemed to PG> bother her Well, I have not noticed any problems with Abu today. She was running around just as good as could be...before pooping on the carpet. <sigh>, so I will keep a good eye one her. Beth from Path Valley Farms said that many ferrets do experience numbness with there rear legs till about a year. Also our two oldest did the (seemingly) impossible, I got home from work, sat down to remove my shoes, and they BOTH we out of there cage (which was still locked shut). One was sleeping under the sofa and the other one came to sniff me and that is how I realized they were out. Either the cat loves em both soooooo much that she let them out, or I need to reinforce the door a little bit. Oh, Jake is doing just great, eating like a horse actually.
