Hi Folks! I have a hob that was brought to us because his response to the womans newborn was 'weird', we never got any more info than that and because we have no children, and he was so sweet we added him to our crew and no more was said, until a few weeks ago. We were ferretsitting for a freind and her jill has a squeeky toy that sounds JUST Like an infant. I was in the ferret room squeeking the toy so I could put the jill back in her cage When my hob (Bijoux) went nuts! he was clawing madly at the cage door trying to get at the sound, my hubby said he was probably trying to 'protect' the toy, but I'm not so sure, I felt he was trying to get out to eat it, or at the very least shut it up! As I said Bijoux is a sweetheart and I would normally swear he doesn't know how to bite, but I'm keeping him away from babies. But here's a question, could it be the pitch of the babies cries that drives them nuts? I mean perhaps some ferrets have far more sensitive hearing than others and the pitch of the cries hurts their ears. Mia [Posted in FML issue 2254]
