Ferret math struck last week and now we have 2 fert kits, both from the same Marshall Farms shipment to Atlanta. They even look so much alike, they could be brother and sister. ;) They are both chocolate, Arvind (the male) and Mya (female). I have had a few different kinds of pets over the years and one of the important indicators of sickness in some animals is the moisture on the nose. I can't seem to find out if the nose is a ferret sickness indicator or not, and if it is, which way is the good way to be? Our male, Arvind, has a dry nose and he is healthy but sleeps heavier than our other fuzzy, Mya. Mya seems to have a wet nose and is a much lighter sleeper than Arvind, but she likes to just lick lick lick (better than bite!) everything around her, including her own nose I think. Both are very active when awake, though Arvind doesn't like being bothered during nap time. He whines like a little baby. Anyway, I'm wondering about fert noses. ;) Can someone clarify? Thanks. - William Molly (the other human) says "Wake up Arvind!" Arvind says "Hey! I was having a great dream about the Lake of Ferretone!" Mya says "Waddya mean dream? Everything tastes so good!!"
