Hey guys, I hope your kidding! Of course, ferrets know their names! If your ferret does not respond to his/her name then he/she is probably just ignoring you! No matter how much research is conducted I REFUSE to believe that my babies (dogs, cats and all) do not comprehend what I am saying to them! I may be crazy but I believe that my animals are smarter than some people I know and science can't explain everything away! When I walk in the door after work and yell "Lucy, I'm home!" I know it is only a matter of time before my stalker pin points my location and moves in for the ambush! Irena...Lucy's mom [Posted in FML issue 1477]
