Dear Kevin and Casper, I'm not sure of the other things that you noticed, but Oakey and Mojo both shiver alot when you pick them up while they're napping. I think that they are just warm and cozy in their nap-place and take a minute to readjust. As far as the nose nipping thing (ouch!), I know that there have been countless times when our ferrets, especially Mojo, have licked Ferretone or just bare skin, and chomped where they were licking. I don't think this is aggressive behaviour at all, esp. since he was licking your face really contentedly moments before... our ferrets do the same thing to eachother all the time. I think that Casper needs to learn that your skin isn't as tough as a fuzzie's and he needs to be more careful. Oakey learned this easily, and Mojo is working on it... I think that the key is that Casper needs to learn about you, and you need to learn what's ok for him. I still won't put Mojo near my face, not until I'm comfortable with him near my bare hands, arms, and legs. Mojo used to love to dive at toes. I wouldn't worry about it too much... If he was abused, Casper just needs that much more love and playing... good luck. Kim and Scott, Oakey and Mojo [Posted in FML issue 1126]
