All my silvermitts have been so naught and they got up to things that none of my other ferrets would ever think of doing :-)

OR<br/>more likely he's in training for<br/>his next adventure. Has he been<br/>eyeing anything lately? I smell<br/>a plot in the making. Please keep<br/>me informed. I'm very curious as to what SEAMUS dose next.<br/>HE would certainly make a model for my ferret-olgy page of strange behavior. good luck hahaa yes peanut was a silver-mitt

Bill – Seamus is 13 months old and I think he’s dunking his dry food just to be a slob :-)

He’s a big boy and his teeth could chew through bone (or a washing machine hose, for instance!) so he doesn’t have any problems with eating his food.

It’s definitely a game with him and he only does it in our bedroom because I deliberately put the food and water dishes close together for Kaos.

He’s always been a water weasel and loves snorkling in the big water dish in the laundry, so it’s all part of his charm :-)

Your Peanut wasn’t a silvermitt by any chance, was he?
