Hey Randy! Do you think Valentine and Maila are long lost twins? I just cracked up when you wrote about the way she runs! We call that "torpedo". Val will flatten out his fat ol body and shoot off like a bullet. It just cracks me up!! I did check his feet last night and they do seem a bit big. Only his front feet tho' and even more specifically his TOES. He is a silver mitt too, one foot has more white than the other and on that foot his toes seem fatter or something. I remember commenting to my husband about it when we got him. His head isnt overly big but I loooove his big round eyes-- they almost seem crossed! Our little female Tizzie has such a pointy nose compared to Vals his is more rounded and full. EVERTHING about Valentine is more rounded and full! I dont call him "Pudge" for nothin! His expression , to me, always seems to say " DUUUHHHH". By far he is the most lovey and laid back ferret I have ever met. He will wrestle and explore but mostly he just likes to hang out. Ive not h ad any experiences with him being frightened over anything inside or outside, nor is he very vocal. I think that drives Tizz crazy 'cause Oh man is SHE a talker! I havent noticed the color of his eyes either - sounds like something else I will have to check out. Take Care and Many Kisses to Everyones Fuzzies! KIM and VAL and TIZZIE [Posted in FML issue 1578]
