We recently became ferret parents. We got Bree around the 1st of June, and then ferret math struck :), and we aquired Reena a month later. Bree is now 1 year and 8 months and Reena is 2 months. Bree used to make a lot of noise when she duked, after Reena came she stopped. Yesterday, I noticed that she was (and still is today) making some small grunting noises, but it almost sounds like a wheeze, and her nose is usually damp, and she often stops in the middle of duking and just stares at me blankly. 1. Could she have a ferret cold? I've been reading about ECE and diabetes and other diseases but I haven't heard of colds or allergies, Are they possible? 2. And Reena likes to suckle Bree's ears. Bree usually tolerates it, but is this normal? or has anyone heard of it? :) At first, I thought she was cleaning Bree's ears for her, they have been cleaner :) since she came. Any thoughts on this? Thanks and *hugs-n-kisses* for all the fuzzies, jana, breezie -get away from my ears, brat- reener -waddya mean i don't belong up here?- [Posted in FML issue 2033]
