Subject: Singing to sick ferret
While MY singing would probably make a ferret more ill, I have to
agree that a ferret, or any animal for that matter, is affected by
how we feel/act when caring for them. I talk calmly and reassuringly
when feeding a sick ferret. Being in a panic, frustrated or
otherwise upset seems to transfer to the ferret.
So yeah, singing would definitely help... except in my case. :-)
