Occassionaly I use squeeky toys to play with my ferrets and this really seems to excite them. I also sometimes attach something to the bottom of a string and run around the room as they chase it, then I stop and watch them jump at it. Well, what I have noticed is that sometimes one of my ferrets will hiss at the object we are playing with. It usually happens when I hold it up and she tries to get it. Does anyone know what reaction this so called" hissing" signifies? Is it excitement, fear, or aggression? Or is she just saying " Let me have it, it's mine!! " ? Thanks, T&T and "the kids" [Posted in FML issue 2141]
