After owning ferrets for 3 short years, I've found one of the main differences between ferrets and other pets like cats & dogs: Ferrets don't beg - they TAKE, after all, its theirs anyway! This earth shattering news came to me this out this morning while juggling 6 ferrets and waffles with syrup. I'm used to a dog who would sit there and "talk" you into giving him some. The ferrets don't ask - they just help themselves! :-) - Mish __MICHELLE Z.
