Hi! I know we've talked about this before, but how do you know when the cat is playing too rough. I noticed BK would lay in wait for the two boys (Sophie's too tough for the cat :) ) and then ambush them. They'd roll over and over and I'd worry the BK would go for the throat, but he doesn't seem to. I feel like disciplining BK, but I don't want him to think that ferrets are scary or "bad". Any suggestions? Also, at the end of this month I'm going on a month long honeymoon. We are having a house sitter, but I thought I might give the ferrets to a friend to take care of them while we're gone. Our housesitter worked for a pet shop and adores ferrets. My dilema is this, if I give my friend my babies I know they will be well cared for because she knows how very dear they are to me. They would, however, have to spend part of the day in the cage. The cage is really nice, three level with ramps and I equipped it with lots of toys. Jake, my youngest, has never been in a cage for a very long time. I've been putting Jake, Sophie, and Marty in the cage for about an hour, but Jake looks so stressed out, I have to leave the room. Sophie and Marty are used to cages after last year's bout with ECE. All three actually have their own room with many drawers, big thick sweaters, tubes, and toys. I'm agonizing over whether to leave them here with the housesitter in their own familiar environment or give them to my friend. I love my babies so much and I want them to be safe and happy. Does anyone have any advice? Dooks and many Weasel War Dances to you all, Steph (pet human), Sophie, Marty, and Jake [Posted in FML issue 1716]
