Im not sure about the hearing of ALL ferrets but Rocket (our 1 yr old sable male) has incredible hearing-when he wants to!Just this morning we were in the bathroom together getting ready for work and the coffee started percolating in the kitchen. Well, Rocket stopped playing with his scrunchie and ran into the kitchen to investigate, he seemed quite confused over the whole thing. He can hear a raisin can shake from three rooms away, he can hear you open the refridgerator from a dead sleep and as soon as the bedroom door opens (a no ferret zone) he runs at mock 10 to get in. But, when its time for bed, he doesnt hear us yelling to him at the top of our lungs! Oh, no, he cant hear THAT well!! Diane and Alex and Rocket (Huh? What'd you say Ma?) [Posted in FML issue 1247]
