Our little blind girl, Candi, uses scent to help her find the way into
the cages. She will sniff all along the edge and always knows when she
has reached the door. We kept trying to figure it out until I sat and
watched one day. When the ferrets crawl into the cages, their rears
always drag across the edge of the plastic bottom pieces. So, Candi
just sniffs until she smells that familiar scent, ferret rears, and she
knows right where she is!
She is also a ferret that will give "kisses" in affection. She doesn't
play well with the larger males due to her size. It scares her when
they come up and try to get her to play like all the others do. If you
pick her up and "save" her, she will always give you "kisses" on your
chin! She doens't do this when you pick her up any other time.
