Okay, I am guilty. I am a ferret tosser too! We make a big pile of pillows on the bed and toss the ferrets on to them. They go nuts and run back for us to toss them again. We also get the sheet and two of us toss them up in the air. They go nuts and love it! I also have a small wagon (actually two which I use to have to pull in tandem because everyone wouldn't fit into one) which I pull them around in. All I have to do is to start pulling it around and all the ferrets come running and jump in. Now they don't want to be pulled sedately around they want me to fly around corners, make the wagon skid and slide! And of course we play flying saucer. I have one of those dust pans with the handle so you dont'have to bend over. And I put it down in front of a ferret and ask if they want to go for a ride and in the ferret will hop and we will fly around the room on their little space craft. Basically I think the ferrets find all the "rides" we enjoyed as kids just as fun. Screamer! I have a deaf dark eyed white, who is a screamer. If he gets even slighly startled he lets out a cry. An ear spliting cry. Just this morning when I came walking into his room, I startled him and he screamed, and turned over the food, and the water on his way to hide. Of course he comes running right back out and jumps on my foot. Go figure! Amy and her 6 fur snakes [Posted in FML issue 2761]
