KittyLady - 20 Jul 2005 14:07 GMT Harvey is very very picky as to what flavors of food he will let grace his palete. Salmon flavor is not one of them, he never eats it when I give it to him. Well Bob Marley (the ferret)eats food that is Salmon flavored, last night I caught Harvey sticking his paw in Bob Marley's cage and stealing food from his bowl. So to deter this I put a few pieces of Bob Marley's kibble is Harvey's bowl. What did Harvey do? Turned up his nose and went back to stealing the same food from Bob Marley's cage. I guess the saying that the grass is greener on the other side should read Food is better when stolen or at least from Harvey's point of view. So then I try putting packing tape, sticky side up, around Bob Marley's cage but no this does not stop Harvey. He fiqured out that he could hook his paw in the loop and move the tape.
Skritches, KittyLady and Harvey who only eats Salmon flavor food when stolen!

Bob Marley sleeps around 18-20 hours a day and as soon as he wakes up and starts moving around his cage Harvey is right there demanding that I let him out. Harvey loves to play with him. I think it is alot like children when they see another child with something, a toy, food, etc. they want it to. Skritches, KittyLady, Harvey and now Bob Marley!

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Skritches, > KittyLady, Harvey and now Bob Marley! From all I've read, ferrets are very inquisitive critters and require lots of toys and play-things. Bob Marley probably needs a lot of stimulation and toys (like my bird does).

I love the name Bob Marley for a ferret, BTW. I don't know why, it just tickles me.

When Bob Marley came to us his name was just Bob. I thought it to plain so thus Bob Marley became his name! Skritches, KittyLady

Sounds like your household is perfect for Bob. I always worry about ferrets getting enough stimulation -- most rarely get out of their cages, let alone get to explore. But I'm sure Harvey and Bob Marley together have a rip-roaring good time!

The only time Bob Marley is in his cage is when he is sleeping at night, and sometimes during the day but only if he goes in there on his own. I am trying to save to get him a larger cage but they are pricy $138 dollars for the nice ones. But back to you statement, He roams freely and explores everything! Under the refrigerator, the stove, hides in pants legs, chases behind me etc. The only thing that I am not liking to well is that he was never litter boxed trained, so he tends to go on newspaper laid in the corners. We are working on the box training and he goes in there sometimes so hopefully it will work out.

I just assumed that it was proper etiquette not to actually spell the word but to imply it as I am sure some here perfer to not use vulgarites. Skritches, KittyLady

I mean, not quite as vulgar.
I'm just trying to rattle a few cages
Certain ones, will not say a curse word (not you, that's not my point) but they will say hateful nasty things to another, far worse than a curse word
Skritches, this sounds made up, like, cat scratching britches, lol
Shakes!

Skritches are what we > give our furbabies:) I see you have met our current troll. Most groups have a resident troll or two, and this one is ours for the time being. As trolls go, this one is fairly harmless, and is even vaguely amusing at times. Its even kinda cute in an ugly sort of way.
Having a troll is part of life in Usenet, and we could do alot worse than this one. It can be fun to throw them a tidbit every now and again, and watch them sink down to new depths to catch it. However, feeding without having the appropriate flame retardant underwear on can be very risky, and best left to the proffesionals.
This has been a community service announcement.
