>Our two oldest ferrets have developed a pattern of pawing at the stem of >their water-bottles. Our youngest, Carter, does the same thing, and now our older boy, Bear, is imitating him and doing it too. At first, I thought maybe the bottle wasn't working, but that's not the problem. Carter doesn't "wipe", though -- he whacks the thing, hard, then he'll drink the water he spills off the cage floor. Only then will he deign to drink from the bottle itself. Weird little weasel! <G> -Tasha [Posted in FML issue 2763]
