Scooter's doing something I don't understand. He keeps using the food dish for a latrine, despite all the people who keep saying ferrets won't poop in a corner that has a dish in it. I noticed tonight the dish was fouled, and he ate ravenously when I gave him a clean dish of food. I don't know how long it had been since he'd eaten. He was a real s**t tonight, which all makes sense if I realize he was hungry. Does anybody have a reason why he might be doing this? I spend time with him EVERY day, cuddling and playing. He gets lots of love and attention, and seems to be really happy. I'm very frustrated. Ideas?
