Wow! What a weird world!!! My name is Andrea (Andi) and my husband's name is Todd. We recently buried our frogs (Wart and Lance) who had already killed their snail Gwenevere. We also have a ferret that totally dislikes one person. She HATES my mother!!! She didn't always and I don't know what changed her mind, but Snitch obviously hates my mom. Our first clue was a bite/lock on my mothers thumb, biting through her nail, and while we tried to pry her off, she started chewing!!!! We deciplined her, chalked it up to being a bad baby (she was 4 months at the time), and decided that my mom shouldn't play with Snitch. Months later, my mom was looking after Snitch and Bandit while we went away for the weekend. Snitch did the bit/lock on that sensitive skin between the thumb and finger. Mom pryed her off, only to have her bite/lock on the other hand. At this point my father came in to help, and also experienced the bite/lock. I wish I had some good advice to pass along. I am no longer willing to take chances with her, so she doesn't get to meet any new humans. Andi PS - Bailey is still kind of hanging in there. I have been unable to set a time limit to her life. She's not going any further down hill and she's not getting any better. I guess I'll have to decide if the situation changes. [Posted in FML issue 1116]
