John & Anna, I thought my ferret, Wilma, was unique on using the chairlegs when peeing. What I did to reduse this behavior was to put a box on her paper( she does not like any litter) so that she could stand up, which I noticed she really prefers. This never have happened to my other ferret, Tod, must be a specific female behavior. It's been four months no since I bought the new kid, Tod, in the beginning I wrote to the FML and asked for advice when getting your second ferret, especially considering that Wilma been 'the only one' for four years. Well it took a long time, about 3 1/2 months. Now they sometimes sleeps together( love the sight) and especially Tod really loves Wilma, he drops everything when she comes around to just follow her around like a shadow. when they started to play together Wilma had( still have) this loud screeming noise and I run in to see what's going on I cold only see this smiling Wilma jumping right back on Tod while still screeming ( they aren't very ruff on eachother) now I think that Wilma forgotten how a playing ferret should sound or I've got wrong info of ferret sounds At last there is one remaining problem: Food, ever since Wilma recovered from diahearra she refused to eat Iams( maybe because she was force feed with a kind of Iams mixture ?) I tried a couple of other well recommended stuff, but the only thing she goes for is the what I call cat-snacks( breekies). Not good cause she needs to put on more weight, her fur still looks a little bit shaggy. The second problem is that since I now always have food available for her, ofcourse Tod eats a lot of that and he is growing to much ( I really dont wnat to seperate them just when I got them together) Any suggestions ?
