Hello to all ferrets and their parents. My name is Minnie, I'm a one year old extremely cute female sable. I was rescued from a local pet store when I was 8 weeks old. I now live with my mom, dad and a 3 1/2 year old siamese male called Buster. Mom says Buster and I are both fixed ( I didn't know that we were broken) and descented (Did I smell?). Buster and I protect our home when mom and dad are at work. Mom says that our home is ferret proofed (though, we do spend part of the day trying to prove this wrong). Buster was an only child until mom and dad brought me home. He doesn't like it when I try to join in the fun when mom and dad are playing with him. He sometimes lets me join in, but soon gets upset and grabs me by the neck and hisses at me, or he just gets upset and goes to our room and pouts. Lately, he has been waking me up by biting my neck or my ears. I don't like this very much , so I cry and mom and dad come to the rescue. They have tried using bitter apple on my neck, but it wears off. Buster and I do like to cuddle and we do play together. Does anyone know why he's such a bully ? What can I do to make him stop? Thanks in advance! Minnie <> [log in to unmask] <> Peche' Teare <> College of Medicine <> University of Florida <> [Posted in FML issue 1478]
