first I want to say to mother Margaret, you post was beautiful..they are bright warm little souls and they have enriched my life and touched my soul..I love them so terribly much. Okay it does not seem there is an answer to the lick lick chomp dilema.. though I tend to believe it is a dominance thing, but what would make an otherwise sweet lovable non-nippy ferret who happens to get under your sheets..while you are under them and go crazy over your toes and scratch at your leg..all my ferrets do this..I could lay perfectly still so as not to instigate play of any sort and they just go nuts...especailly with the scratching..I KNOW my fuzzies are not the only ones to do this ...any thoughts? Does anyone have a ferret with a preferance for a certain toy? I have collected over the years fist size McDonalds stufffed toys..Joey, wherever he sleeps will drag his little camel with him and sleeps nex to it..he has about 10 little animals to choose from but always picks the camel. Dooks to all you fuzzies June [Posted in FML issue 2618]
