For the lady whose ferret stole the babies pacifiers,been there,done that. My ferret also has a collection of retired pacifiers.None of the others ever were allowed to chew on them,Jasmine made sure of that.I can always tell when it's moving day,Jasmine runs by many times with a pacie in her mouth,to the delight of many a guest. Have you considered a play pen for the baby,or would the fuzzbutt just scale the obstacle? I'd say use bitter apple on a sacrificial pacie and leave it where the ferret is sure to find it.This may take a while, depending on the ferret.We finally gave up and gave her some pacifiers of her own.This seemed to make her happy.You could also try a pacifier leash, though a determined ferret will probably get it anyway.At least my grandson thought it was really funny when the ferret stole his pacie.Never had to break him from pacie dependancy,the ferret did it for us.All I can say is start wearing track shoes,or get really good at contortions to get them back.Good luck. I have come to the conclusion that we have a rude furby.Honey was out exploring when she heard the furby talking.She ran over to where my grandson was playing,and peeked over the edge of the couch.Calvin,knowing a ferrets tendancy to steal,hugged his furby close.I swear,and I know I shouldn't,but I swear that furby said nah,nah nah,nah nah,nah and gave her the raspberry.After I picked myself up off the floor,and Honey quit licking my ear,it was in reach,I have handled those furbies with more respect.Haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
