Picnics: Camille stashes away her kibble, too--but only if she gets it from somewhere other than her bowl. Then it becomes a treat. I'll offer her one TF kibble and she'll run with it under the bed or behind the couch. She also stashes raisins; this I can understand. I mean, you can never have too many raisins, now can you? :) Unusual ferret toys: I loved the mop-top story. That reminded me of something Camille *loves*--a nice, big head of cabbage! She doesn't eat it, but she's facinated with the idea of trying to move it. When she tries to get a bite-hold on it, it either slips away or she winds up with a leaf in her mouth. She had a lot of fun with it, but I had to take it away soon, because it was my mom's cabbage. (oops!) Next time I'm at the store, I plan on getting her one of her very own. Maybe I'll put it in her stocking :) Dooks Erika (gimme that thing, that's your grandmother's) & Camille (mom! I was going to make a salad!) P. S. Anyone know where I can find ferret T-shirts/sweatshirts? [Posted in FML issue 1782]
