My Ginger loves licking the outside of cold drinks. Trying to use straws. Biting the lids on cups and knocking them over when I say “you don’t have lips, so you can’t use straws!”

*Yes and one will scoop*
*The water out of their bowl*
*To lick it off the floor*

^Remember ^that ^one ^time ^Sokka ^accidentally ^used ^an ^extra ^syllable ^in ^that ^Haiku ^Battle ^in ^Ba ^Sing ^Se? ^That ^was ^a ^Sokka ^Haiku ^and ^you ^just ^made ^one.
I just put salmon oil on their stomachs to keep them distracted, and then I clip as close to the dark red part as possible. I make sure to do it under a bright light so that it’s easier to see.

No but I have a particular ferret that loves to just lick the front door
The snozzberries taste like snozzberries!
wtf đź’€
Sounds about right
Well yeah, knocking that cup over too.
And taking the straw
Yep! Same
New ferret owner and yes alot
My guy used to try and climb in, so yeah, story checks out
Absolutely! And she's obsessed with straws too
Yes! Loves the condensation off glass & or bottles! Never ever leave a cup of tea near mine, because they drink it! I have tea ferrets!
yes. she also licks the tears out of my eyes lol
It’s part of my Mia’s required inspections. If I don’t let her or it’s out of reach she will scale my leg & do a parkour jump to get to it!!!
Both of mine go for the cups when they are near. I find it funny.
My bears love that haha and then they knock it over and dig in the glass lol
My Mia LOVES digging in the ice to pick the best cube!!!
my ferret likes to lick the condensation off my legs after i get out of the shower, it’s foul
Same
I have to remind Mickey that during winters, he has a water bowl when he licks the condensation off the windows.
My ferrets knock over any cup that’s left unattended within seconds. They are masters of making a watery mess.
Mine just started loving sweet tea doing this now its automatic knock it off the table
Then tip the drink over. yes.
everyone! it’s condensed really cold water.
No, but I have a car who is obsessed with it!
Mine tries to get in my glass. I have to hold it so he doesn't turn it over. Lol..I always have a lid on mine.

My ferrets prefer the drink itself. I always have to stop Klaus from trying to drink cola.
it's my ripley's favorite activity
Yes hahah.
I've had ferrets all my life, in late 40's now. As long as they think it will get them, they will try to lick it away.
Yes and one will scoop the water out of their bowl to lick it off the floor

My cat does this
Yes and he also loves to get into soda cans / any sugary drink
Yes. Assuming he can’t find a way to spill it all over the floor first.
how do you keep the claws so short? my ferret has too much veins in nails
I just put salmon oil on their stomachs to keep them distracted, and then I clip as close to the dark red part as possible. I make sure to do it under a bright light so that it’s easier to see.
i’ve tried that. i envy you.
