This
is Winter, one of our ferrets. She's a sable-pointed silver,
also known as a Siamese, and she's just about eight months old. We
live in Portland, Maine. Up until about two weeks ago, Winter was
the best ferret anyone could hope for. She loves to give kisses and
go for rides--on shoulders or in pockets. She's never nipped anyone
in her life and she likes to meet strangers. Because she'll do
anything for chopped dates (her favorite treat), she knows a couple
of tricks--sit up and roll over. Any time we come into the room, she
comes running, hoping for treats, or even just a cuddle.
A couple of weeks ago, this sweet, cuddly little ferret decided to
become a major nuisance. She's always liked to steal shoes, but they
don't fit under the bed, so it wasn't a problem. Now she goes after
anything plastic or rubber--the computer mouse, for example, which
has tooth marks on it. She was really frustrated when the cord kept
her from getting it off the desk! I've never had a ferret
chew through a cord; I don't think the idea even occurs to them,
which is a very good thing. And she keeps trying to hide the
telephone under the bed.
Although Winter's still nuts, she hasn't been destroying anything
lately--largely because we've given her a couple of toys of her own:
a gigapet and an old cordless phone. She drags them around all the
time, and leaves the remote control alone. Winter also gets to go
outside a lot, now that it's warm, so she's calming down the rest of
the time. She's so much crazier than her sister
Tess!
