As I was searching the web for ferret clipart, I ran across a ferret sound file. Wondering what my two sleeping fuzzies would do if they heard it, I downloaded it and played it a couple of times. To me, it sounded NOTHING like a ferret, but I guess it did to them. From a "Dead-to-the-World" sleep they both twitched a couple of times and then stuck their noses to the side of their cage looking right at the speaker that was making this noise. It was obvious, they knew EXACTLY what this sound was and they knew EXACTLY where it came from. This web page had another sound file on it. By the time I had downloaded it and was ready to play it, they were back in their normal, curled-up-together sleeping position, but I couldn't resist, so I hit the play button on my sound player. This time, I recognized it as a ferret dooking and so did they. The way they perked up and stuck their noses thru the side of their cage was hilarious. But this is their sleep time, so I let them curl up and go back to sleep. I can't wait 'til they are out playing and I remember to play these sounds for them. I searched for more ferret sound files, but didn't find much. If anyone has recorded sound files, please send them to me or direct me to a web site where I can download them. I think I may have found a way to dissuade them from trying to drag my toes off to their 'hidie-hole' while I'm working at the computer. The plan (and we all know about the best laid plans of mice and men) is to put an external speaker on the floor a few feet from where my my toes rest while I'm working at the computer. I'll just load up a bunch of different ferret sound files and when the attack my toes, I'll play one of these sounds. They'll run over and dance around the speaker and I'll be able to get a little more work done. Good idea, right? I'll let you know how well it works. So send me those files. I'd also like to hear how you were able to record your fuzzies. I have recording capabilities on my computer, but can't imagine how I'd ever get them to be that vocal in close proximity to the microphone in order to capture that much sound.
