I was playing with Maggie the other day when I noticed her pink little nose isn't so pink anymore. It's got spots of black of it. Butch's nose was black with a tiny spot of pink of it when I got them back in March. Just wondering why the change in color? On tube fun: I finally broke down and got the Ferret Freeway from the Ferret Store. I had the 20 feet of dryer tube but it was starting to look shabby and besides, they hypnotized me into buying the tube and the round house ball. I love that tube! I can finally see what they are doing. It is so fascinating to me that I burned my breakfast this morning because I was too busy watching tails wags and listening to chattering. They ignored the tube really for the first week, preferring to play in the box the stuff came it. I can't say they do much with the ball yet but in time they might. Who needs the TV tube when you have the ferret tube. Last thing, does any one have any experiences with that giggle ball toy I see in the non-fur child's stores? I have picked it up and rolled it around and thought my pair might like it for Christmas. Yes, it will wait until Christmas no matter how sad and denied they try to look. Now, if only I could find stockings with ferrets on them I would be all set. For a while at least! Thanks for you're help! Connie, Butch, and Maggie (what's happening to my nose mommy)?
