We call Gumbi anything from Sprite to Freckles (she has freckles on her nose) to Jingle (her bells on her collar) to Little Miss Impatient. And like many other ferrets, "Come HERE, you little monster!". We had a guest stay over last night and since we only have two bedrooms (ours and Gumbi's), Gumbi slept with us. We didn't get much sleep as would be expected. Tickly wiskers in our ears, tongue up our noses, she would not stop licking me all night, the back of my knees, the insides of my elbows, and the most sleep disturbing of all - my eyelashes. That's the last time she sleeps with me right after a bath! Apparently she mistakes my lotion as Linatone. She goes after it with the same zest. Does anyone else's ferrets go crazy after a certain smell that isn't food? So needless to say, all of us are cranky today (she didn't get much sleep either). (That's why I was asleep when you called Pam! Thanks for waking me up.) Could anyone give me any ideas on treats? Gumbi likes marshmallows, ice cream, raisins, and of course Linatone. She does not like any type or flavor of cat treats, raw meat, peanut butter, Ferretbites, baby food, Sustical, etc. Haven't tried chocolate or peppermint yet, gonna wait for christmas. I'm using treats to teach her to sit up and roll over. I used raisins to teach her to "sit-up" and when I tell her "roll over", she sits up! As for the temperature of our house, it stays around 75-78 degrees, just comfortable enough to walk around in a tee shirt and jeans. If it gets any colder Gumbi shivers to death and hides under anything cloth to get warm. Even when I take her with me to Petsmart or P.T.Moran, she shivers until we leave and I put her back in her carrier with her sleeping bag. My day is not complete without the FML!
