<delurk> Has anyone ever experienced a jealous ferret? One's that's jealous of another PERSON? Before I became involved with my S.O., Geordi (my 2.5 year old, 5 lb. sable male) kept pretty much to himself. He'd seek my attention once in a while, but was usually content to make his own fun or play with (i.e. beat up on) his step-sister. But once my S.O. started coming over, he has been nothing short of _totally obnoxious_ every time she's there. And it's not just the "adapting to new people" thing, because I've had plenty of others over and he was nothing like this. He's always underfoot and starts to nip when he can. When anyone else is over, he'll usually give them the "once over", but get bored with them and go back to sleep. When she's over, he's CONSTANTLY in motion. The last time she was over, Geordi actually treated HER better than ME! She could do no wrong but he wanted NOTHING to do with daddy. Since that day, he's been VERY affectionate (for him anyway) and is usually quite anxious to attract my attention. Anyone else have this happen? Does anyone know of any particularly Ferret Friendly vets on Long Island? Hopefully in the mid-Suffolk county area? My current vet is good for routine check ups and vaccinations, but I'd like to know a real "pro" if (God forbid) they were to have problems. Please reply via email. Thanks <lurk> P.S. Everyone, it's spelled R-A-I-S-I-N!!!!!! (sorry, pet peeve of mine) ^ ^ ^ [Posted in FML issue 1450]
