When Pig was young, she was so big and aggressive we actually thought for a day or two the pet store was mistaken and she was really a male ferret.  Pig bounded everywhere she went and loved to play fight.  She also thumped her tail, which we read was a male behavior.  What she lacked in concentration and booksmarts, she made up for in pure warrior strength.

What’s this about tail thumping, you say?  I’d never seen it until Pig came along.  We have long mailing tubes which ferrets just love to scurry into when play fighting.  Pig will sit inside a tube when being chased by humans, and vibrate her tail back and forth.  It makes a thumping sound, and according to what we read, this is male behavior.  Pig is our little Amazon Warrior Ferret!

Pig isn’t afraid of anything, even though she now lives with two adults and two male ferrets who are of course twice as large as she is.  She attacks them all, full on, nothing held back.  She is unrelentless and thorough in her mission to sublimate every member of the household.  When Pig, Warrior Ferret gets worked up, everyone watch out!
