We haven't ever gotten any heart shaped poops so are feeling snubbed ;-), but Fritter used to do something I've read of maybe two or three others doing. We used to buy the non-alchoholic wine and one types had a plastic cap-cover (to look fancier) which the ferrets considered MARVELOUS toys, but Fritter had an additional use for them. She would CAREFULLY go to the bathroom in them, being sure to not get any over the sides whenever possible. It used to look like she'd do a tight cirlce with her lower half to get it all in right. Haleakala, on the other hand (or foot) would catch Steve's eye if she was VERY annoyed with him, then turn tail, lift same, and go right on his sock/foot! So there!!!! How many folks have had ferrets who made/make designs with treats? Ruffle would usually line them up, but once with five plus (Can't recall exact number but we took a photo.) she carefully made a cross. (She used to gently lay them over the patterns on the kitchen floor.) Our current ones are too piggy and competitive to use treats to make art... Great critters, aren't they?
