Hello all, and happy New Year. Our male, Babka, has always shown a particular interest in corks. Well, after our New Year's Eve party (admission was two bottles of champange and over a hundred people came), we had an extraordinary supply of champange corks. Babka's interest has now become an obsession. He has been seeking out every one of those corks, and with an urgency, grabbing them and hiding them in three different spots. An impromtu game has arisen, where I steal his cache, and will toss one in the middle of the floor. Even if he is off doing some other damage, he can recognize the sound of a Brut cork hitting the floor, and will come running to grab it up and store it with his other treasures. Have any of you experienced a cork obsessed ferret? With a propensity for champange corks? I think he is a bit decadent by nature. I hope these are not bad for him, but since they are supposedly from trees, the worst would be excess fiber and some dirty squirties. He does not eat them, he just stores them. Does anyone know if "Marshall Farms Ferret Food" is sold in NYC, and if so where we could get it? Is it really all that different from the Science Diet Kitten food we feed them now? Inquiring minds want to know. Love to all the rats and their bipedal puppets!
