Hello World! I have been on the FML for quite a while and have sat silent about the following ignorance of mine. I would like to set it straight. When we are talking about ferret noises what exactly are the Dook-Dook, Cluck-Cluck, hissing, chuckling, chittering, and other noises? Are they self-explanatory? My ferret, Snoopy, hisses when we play tug-of-war or when she seems frustrated about something (i.e. not being able to fit a huge sponge through the hole to her hidy-place). Another ferret owner was playing with Snoop and heard her make a funny noise when he rubbed her belly. He said that noise was a Cluck-Cluck and that meant she was happy. I always thought she was choking on a hairball or something. Just shows how observant a parent I am (it sure sounded like a hairball to me)! Could anyone actually describe these sounds more acurrately? The reasons they make the noises are in the FAQ. I just can't figure out what is what. To me Snoop seems pretty quiet. Does anyone know any noises that are different from anything that has been described here? I know Fortran C, C++, Pascal, Spanish, Ada but not much FERRET. Give me a short lesson please!
