Esther- One of my four ferrets does that too. It's known in ferret parlance as "speedbump". It's incredibly cute--as is most of the other posturing and acting that they do. To me it can mean many things: I'm bored. I'm tired, so I'll just rest a few seconds. I'm trying to blend in with the floor--see how invisible I am? See how incredibly cute I am? Give me a treat Pleeeeeeze! Glad that you're enjoying your new ferret. Watch our for ferret math-- Where 1 = 4! Melodyt and the four fuzzbutts [Posted in FML issue 1941]
