Bathroom Activities 1. Always accompany guests to the bathroom.It's not necessary to do anything,just sit and stare.They do make a nice noise if you lick their ankles though.Then when they don't come back, you'll have more playtime with your human. 2. The sit and stare manuver is much less effective on your specific human,as they seem to develop an immunity after the first week.However the ankle licking is effective on them also,perhaps eliciting a snuggle.If they ignore this also,you could try the nip and slip(away).This must be used with caution,as it may affect your treats later. Bath Time Theirs 1. Sitting and staring(re: rule 1 bathroom) are a good option.For the bold,a run and dive strategy will work well,often getting sympathy if you sneeze and snort on surfacing.Of course ,wait until the human is totally involved in what they are doing.When the human steps out of the bath box,it is time to stage a lick attack.You will know you are having the desired effect,when the human starts making noises and doing a small war dance.

Towel time:Once you are put in the towel,it is time to shiver.The harder the better,for some sympathy and maybe a raisin.Remember,DO NOT shiver so hard they bring out the air blower. 5. Down time:When put down it is time for the damp ferret frenzy.Not only does it amuse the humans,but it's fun too,and there is always the possibility of a raisin. Dooks,Sandy and the 3 ferreteers.
