Hi, I am a rather new ferret owner. My roomates at school had one for a couple of months so I know pretty much about their habits. Now I'm out of school and just got one of my own. I have a couple of questions though. One, my male ferret, Ferris, is one year old and fixed but now nearly as playful as the first one I knew. Why? Is there anything I can do to make him more playful? Another is every time I pick him up, he licks me nonstop. Is this normal? Anyways, thanks for letting me ask these weird questions.
