Well, at least that's how "Little Man" see's it. I've heard of "picky eaters", and out of our 6 ferrets, we have one particularly picky eater. Salty doesn't like anything but her ferret food, petromalt and ferretone. The other vultures will take anything they see you eating - even plain old bread (but only if you're EATING it). But Salt's finicky eating habits were NOTHING! Meet Little Man. I made the mistake of OFFERING him a noodle that the other beggers were eating. He sniffed it and made this awful gagging noise as if I just stuck my finger in the back of his throat. His eyes squinted up and he looked at me as if I just tried to kill him. He backed away, and took off to play. Thinking it was just the noodle, I offered him a COOKIE one time after that because he was nebbing in my face as I ate it. So after offering him the cookie, he did that gaggin noise again like I was gagging him on purpose. And the look I got afterwards made me crack up because he GLARED at me with these squinty eyes like I did it on purpose. We've tried offering anything with the same reaction. And we thought Salty was picky! At least she's not psycho as well! - Mish __MICHELLE Z.
