Hi, I was wondering if it is true that ferrets tend to "calm" with age. Now, I am not expecting cuddly lap sitting behavior...especially from two ferrets who like to bounce off the walls. But say you have ferrets as kits and they have a lot of energy..etc. Do they reach an adult behavior where petting is accepted, or else they MIGHT sleep in your arms for 5 inutes? I don't expect much... I have started to notice that both of my ferrets know who I am. Chimi is almost 1 year, and Pepe is 9 months. They will come to me when I enter the room, and if I sit on the floor, they come over and greet me. When strangers come, they are apprehensive- they hide under the bed, or wait a while to come investigate. Has anyone seen this phenomenon?? For a while there, I thought it would be a one way love affair...but for the last couple of months, the reward has been great. They don't even hesitate to think I might be trying to put them in their bed! Thanks for any thoughts, Stephanie, Chimi (I love my mommy, love love love) & Pepe (Mommy, get a kiss! love loves) [Posted in FML issue 2793]
