This is BoBo's little blue man, the one I find in the dresser draw he likes, in his bed in his cage or in the closet where he gos to sleep when out in the house. The other day I found the little blue man in the dresser draw & thought it would be funny to play a trick on BoBo I took the man & left him in the middle of the front room floor. It didn't take BoBo two min. to grab it and take it to his cage & up the trunnel to his bed. I did this one more time, the 3 rd. time he wasn't falling for it and guarded it so I couldn't get to it.

Look at the gorgeous little face saying "please mummy don't take my toy".

BoBo is such a cutie, JC! And I love seeing him with his toy - it's really adorable

My gang don't have anything of their own that they like particularly and I wonder why that is. I once got a ferret Kong for them to play with and the dog ended up with it!

Mojo is obsessed with stealing my TV glasses (not my reading ones, thank goodness, but I wonder why she leaves them alone!) and Seamus is fixated with any bottles of soda water or cans of Coke which he sees me drinking as he wants to stash them behind the sofa.

Actually there was a moment earlier this morning when I had a can of Coke while sitting in my chair and I had Mojo, Seamus and Angus all clambering over me trying to get to the can. I reckon it would have made a great ad for Coca Cola

This morning just before I took my son to school I checked to see if the ferrets had settled down for the day, just in time to see Kaz heading off behind the day hutch with his penguin.
Looked away and there was Kaz the other side of the ferret room, it had been Lulu heading off with Kaz's penguin. Anyway, he followed Lulu grabbed his penguin and headed back into the big cage and put it back in the spot it always is..........then he gave me a filthy look

Is Kaz's penguin a large toy or the size of BoBo's little blue man, Tracy?

Actually I was thinking - Angus does like a toy only it's not his. I have a soft toy ferret I call Monty - he's my neck pillow - and Angus always wants to have Monty.

If I'm lying in bed with Monty under my neck, Angus comes up and starts yanking away to get Monty out, then he'll take him off the bed and pulls him into the chest of drawers. However that's it! Once Monty is in the bottom drawer, Angus is happy and goes up into the 1st "floor" drawer and goes to sleep.

Perhaps I should buy him a couple of small soft toys and see if he'd like to take them to cuddle in his drawer

AH !! To bad you didn't get a picture. It would of been a great Ad as you say, & what better way to tell the world about Ferrets not being as bad as some people think... Trouble likes my ( Beer ) little lush

Oh Tracey your two sound like BoBo & Trouble. There's a cloth baby rattle, that they both like & one will take to the closet the other will go get it & take behind the sofa, They are so funny to watch them.

I think you just found his favorite toy Nona BoBo doesn't really play with his blue man just has to have it with him. Maybe Angus needs his own Monty

Nona, yes the penguin is little blue man size, he just sits it on the top level next to the hammock and thats where it has to be.

So,

Does anyone actually know why they fixate on and hoard objects?
