The mother ferret grabs it out of my hands and they both run back into the house with tay and tails all puffed up. Pookie grabs onto it so tight with her teeth that you can actually carry her around by the hedgehog as she dangles from it. My males do not seem to care for squeaky noises. Like most other species of animals, male and female ferrets display certain characteristics that one might call stereotypical. For instance, females are quick to rise from a slumber whereas a male tends to lounge a little before finally getting up.
Females spend more time making sure toys and other ferret possessions are in order.
Males are less picky. Females spend a lot of time house cleaning, moving about, checking the territory and making sure toys are in the correct place. Males, on the other hand, have more extreme states of activity. Males are lazy most of the time, but when it's time to get active, they're more rambunctious than the females. Females dance around the home on their toes like cats while the males have heavy steps and stomp like small dogs.
