Anyone have any experiences with ferrets stealing unusual items? Cwynn, our big orangey male, constantly attempts to steal people's fingers if they smell good --- he will gently but firmly close his mouth around the delicious digit, and with a dogged, "No hooman bean's gonna stop me!" expression, backs into the nearest crevice in the room. If the hooman bean even dares retract his or her finger away, Cwynn will run after him or her with an extremely offended expression and attempt to steal the finger yet again. =) Molly, on the other hand, who is a wee little sable not much bigger than a kit, has a passion for stealing things out of bags: she doesn't steal anything else (except for empty soda bottles out of the recycling bin), but everything in a bag (any bag) is fair game: pens, groceries, even large heavy textbooks, which she has managed, the 1.3+ pound weenie, to drag under the couch to stash with favorite socks and things the three know we are currently looking for. Anna G. Ralya Molly "YES! Mom went grocery shopping again!" Cwynn "Forget the groceries, grab the finger!" Obelix "*I* never steal anything, because *I'm* the good ferret in the family."
