The cutest ferret momment I've experienced thus far ... Epstein is a rubber chewer .... he loves anything rubber. I was very excited when I read about the Cheweasle .... and thrilled when they arrived in the mail. I told Epstein all about this great new treat .. danced around a bit and then presented him with his first Cheweasl. Epstein looked at the Cheweasle... sniffed it and then walked away. I then went into overdrive trying to make him like it. I covered the Cheweasle with Ferrettone - served it up wet - warmed it up - put it in the food dish - chewed on it myself - stored it with my licorice - froze it etc. This went on for weeks. This morning I placed one inside his sleep-sack. A few minutes after I put Epstein into his cage I noticed that the Cheweasle was in the "poop pan". I thought I'd left a second chewweasl in the cage. I took it out of the poop-pan, washed it off and putt it back in the sleep sack. Epstein picked the Cheweasle up, brought it back to the poop-pan and dropped it in. I again place it in the sleep sack --- and Epstein again placed it in the poop-pan. I'm sure we could of played this game for hours ...but I was late for work and had to stop. Epstein has very specific food - sleep and poop areas in his cage. He never brings any toys or food anywhere near the poop-pan. (Although he'd poop on my kitchen table if I let him.) He know the routine and he knows that anything in the poop-pan goes way in the morning. He threw the chewweasl away! Ha! Now if they only made a licorice flavored Cheweasle.... :) Cynthia Donovan [Posted in FML issue 2244]
