the backwards butt scoot

[Katirhi]

Trinity LOVES her crocheted eggies. She can't live without them, but this is the only way she plays with them.. she just scoots around backwards all over the floor while clutching them in her front paws. I love watching her do this lol

Its VERY CUTE. Many speculate that "egg scooting" is related to robbing nests in the wild. It does seems to be a common instinctive ferret behavior.

Love her tail!

Ginny does the same thing. You can stop watching at 0:33. Gets boring after that, but feel free to watch lol. I tried to edit the video, but it wouldn't let me.

I love it when they do that!! I think it's the cutest thing when Sushi scoots backward with her toy balls or toilet papers or stuffed animals. lol
I have a picture of her doing it, but I need to catch her on video still.

That's so cute!

Rosco does that with several different toys, some of which are not even egg-shaped

Fiona also does it. I thought they were the only 2 of my 5 who did it, but then, just the other day I caught Finn doing it too!!

Artemis is the only one here that has done it, usually with socks or other toys.

A number of ours do this as well But only Willow does it around and around backwards in circles ;D She's a bit "special" ;D

Ha ha! One of my favorite parts of playime is the backwards butt scoot LOL. Hunter cannot do it anymore (he hurt his spine awhile back and his abilities are limited) but all the others do ;D Hunter will lay on his back in the play box and spin a toy with his feet
