“Please can you tell me how much a new black plastic ball that screws on to the front wheel is? Whilst fitting my new wheels and bag holder my ferret which enjoys hiding anything that is plastic and spherical stole it and buried it in the garage – never to be seen again. D’oh.”
Jenny M, Northampton
According to Wiki;
“Ferrets have a strong nesting instinct and will repeatedly carry small objects to hidden locations. It is difficult to predict what objects ferrets will attempt to hoard, with owners reporting play toys, socks, bags of onions, pizza slices, keys, calculators, coins, silverware, aluminum foil, shoes, sponges, toilet paper rolls, textbooks, video game controllers, remote controls, footballs, brooms, pencils, erasers, bouncy balls, cardboard boxes, etc. Ferrets will seemingly form attachments to certain objects and will repeatedly ‘steal’ the same object and bring it to their hiding place.”
Is it possible that it’s building its own GoKart, bit by bit?
We could also encourage owners to sign up to FERT, the Ferret education and research trust.
