Hi there, well as u know i have a new 6 week old ferret( formally known as bear with a hip problem) now he is known as rebel ( he responds to this name and runs to u . as bear he did not even look at u must be the sound of it who knows) well after just 2 weeks of having him in our home he sems to walk much better with only a slight hop wobble. The vet was amazed at the improvement. But we will still take him for another check in a few weeks.I was wondering if it was normal for him to talk as much as he does? He dooks all the time. u say hi he starts to chatter,walk in the room he starts, it doesn't matter what u do he just talks ! Is he scared or happy? I also have 2 other ferrets. Nosey and Trouble(7 m) .Nosey took to him real fast and showed him the ropes. But trouble just walks up to him and bites on him then walks away.Rebel cries out and moves away from her, then goes and attacks her. But Trouble will walk up to Rebel while he is sleeping or playing or eating and just bite on him. Is she showing him whois boss or does she not like him? Nosey and Rebel roll all over and bite and play all the time. Nosey and Trouble havent played since i got Rebel.( Trouble has also been sick since the day after Rebel came home so i do not know if this is causing her not to play) Is there a chance that she is depressed? If so what can i do to help her get through this change? I really hate to see my little girl not playing like she use to. Ok. Nosey loves mt. dew. So does my husband.Well i think N. can recognize the Mt. Dew can. Everytime my husband opens a can ,here comes N. well he learned that if u jump on the table, u can get on the chair, which then u can get to the couch , then on to the pass through counter that leads to the sink that holds the can of soda or cup. I have tried everything i can think of to keep N. from doing this. Does any one know how to keep a ferret of the counters and furniture? (I know im crazy for even thinking i can keep him off something like a couch) but im crazy with him going in my sink. He can even turn the water on! ahhhhhhhhh Sherri Nosey< hey mom look at me! Trouble< ummm i wonder where my new chew toy is {{{Rebel}}}}? Rebel< is that an ankle i can bite?{{{chomp}}}} [Posted in FML issue 1925]
