Hi Everyone! My ferret Tabitha enjoys eating (not just chewing and ripping apart) towels, cushions, pillows, the old pair of jeans that I gave her to run through, wool slippers, etc. Does anyone know if she's just teething and will outgrow this or is she one of those rare ferrets who've acquired a taste for cotton? She's about five months old, she's not spayed yet but she's having her operation in November. I hate having to take away her favorite toys but since she's essentially trying to digest cotton fibers, I really can't let her have these things anymore unless I can find a way to get her to stop eating them. My ferret proofed rooms are leaving her little to play with and she seems to be getting a little bored sometimes. Any ideas? Keith: Hey, stop chewing that towel! Tabitha: Well give me my jeans back!! DOOK!! [Posted in FML issue 1735]
