My ferret, Butterscotch, has five of these "babies" and she carries
them around the cage and tucks them to bed in the big plush bed I
made for them on the top level.She gets upset when they are moved by
one of the other ferrets, she promptly retrieves it and puts it back
to "bed". Butterscotch is a MF ferrets and she will be 5 yrs old in
Nov.. She treats these babies so gently that I know she would have
made a great mother. She is the only one of my ferrets that does
this, they are all MF ferrets. I accidently washed one of the babies
when I washed thier bedding and I felt as though I killed a real
ferret. I felt so bad.
