Hello Bob and Scooter, I had a ferret many years ago that loved to lick my tub and I let her. It never did her any harm! I think it's just the curious nature of the ferret. One of my two ferrets now loves to wait (and sleep) in my towel I lay next to the tub when I shower. When I get out she HAS to lick at least one foot. I dry off mostly before stepping out but I always leave one foot wet just for her to clean! It's a ritual and I feel very loved for it! :-) Suzanne and Little Roo [Posted in FML issue 1687]
