I look at it as progress ;D A year ago he would have taken my hand off. ;D He's not very forgiving when he's startled. It was one of the first inclinations I had that this boy was totally deaf. I came into the kitchen (we already knew he would lunge at you to bite) and startled him....he screamed....ran full tilt into the fridge....bounced off the fridge...hard...and came at me. No hesitations. It's the first time I've ever been afraid during a ferret attack. He latched on to my sleeve. I was bending over to pick him up to offer sympathy and to see if he hurt himself running into the fridge (he really hit it), I was wearing an oversized hoody type sweatshirt. He gator rolled 4 or 5 times before he let go (actually he ripped through the sleeve) and latched onto my jeans...he riped both my sweatshirt and my jeans. I slid him across the floor, so that he wouldn't get hold of me and he went at me again. We did this sliding thing a number of times before he ran off. What amazes me is that they can scream even with a mouthfull of you stuffed in their mouthes . You know Sherry I have sympathies for your boy....I remember Lady "B" dragging Attila up the hallway both deafies screaming their heads off but i found that scream is different from the "death" scream that I've heard from an injured fuzz or the scream that Fun-Go lets out. Or at least their screaming was. ciao

Oh, it is different, no doubt! Lucrezia's was a temper scream. It's simply that it was our first experience with them screaming ;D When Suki gets stuck, or scared, or anything else, she lets out a fear scream pretty quickly

SoCo screams when hes around Kahlua, he whines and moans for over a minute afterwords if she happens to get ahold of him and bites him. If you bathe him, he screams when he first touches the water and then he moans and whines. When you move him in his sleep he moans and whines, if he hears me come home and I dont take him with me on Tequila's (our chihuahua) walk he whines and moans, If I take him on the walk and its a little chilly or the wind hits him.... he whines and moans, lol. He is very, very vocal. He has also been known to scream when some one with cold hands picks him up AND when someone he doesnt know incredibly well touches the back of his neck.

Akiko's deaf so she does the scream/bark and then peels out trying to hide if we surprise her...I laugh so hard but then feel guilty because she always comes out wanting me to save her from whatever big bad thing almost got her

I have startled more than a couple of my deafies and had that exact reaction. I feel so terrible. Fun-Go actually got himself stuck under the bookshelf and I had to remove him. He was so angry at me. Not only did he scream at me when I scared him, he hissed, snapped and tried to bite me as I worked at extricating him from under the bookshelf ciao

Willow is like that as well Poor baby girl hightails it if we startle her by being where she doesn't expect. The strange thing is Lucrezia couldn't care less. Mind you- we've had her since she was 13 weeks old, so she's never HAD to be afraid of anything.
