Well in the past week, we have become the proud owners of two really gigantic ferrets...err umm, siberian huskies. We adopted a 4 year old female, and then our vet (who has us on a unwanted ferret and Husky contact list) notified us of a woman who was getting rid of her 7 mo old Siberian. So now, we have two! And (of course) I just had to sign up for a siberian mailing list (they are much tamer than FMLer's, they dont sign their posts with little comments from their huskies) The siberian folk have already teased me about getting two in one week. I told them, "I've came down with ferret math before, wouldn't surprise me in the least if I have siberian math!" (they probably think I am nuts) But, all in all, they do quite well with the ferrets. Belle, the oldest siberian, is totally disinterested in them. She has chosen her spot, right in front of their cage (and also in front of the AC) and doesn't even look at them when they tug on her fur through the bars. I carry Gypsy around with me alot during the day (he likes me to dance with him) and she just looks at me weird. She seems to have little or no kill instinct, as I have been warned that most huskies have. But I still ain't gonna risk it. The 7 mo, Sasha, however, is obsessed with the ferrets. She licks the cage and woo's and howls at them. Her, I do not trust even alone with them in the cage. And my fuzzies! Oh my horrible, rotten little fuzzies! They tempt and taunt her all they can. I had to laugh when Sasha was busy licking the cage down and Shandy got a hold of her tounge and tried to run off with it. My gang can be quite ornrey when they wanna be. One thing that really bummed me out, I was reading a post on the sibe list about how to deal with huskies trying to kill things, and there was one post about how this male "never tried to kill anything" except for a kitten and a pet ferret, but it was under supervision, with "they can be so fast" in parenthesis. ARRRGGGHH!!! I love animals, dont get me wrong, but I told Belle and Sasha right off the bat...."See, you are my dogs, but THESE are my babies!" (then I coated their cage with bitter apple) :-) (great deterent for ferrets and huskies alike!) Chelle [Posted in FML issue 2362]
