Do any of your ferrets have a preference when it comes to the people that live in your household? I know many of us have favorites when it comes to our fuzzy companions, but I think that they have favorites of us too-here it becomes almost comical. I know many are the only people the ferrets are ever around, but if you are not, do they like one of you more than the other? It's so funny, because I think Fiddler and Hiro definitely do. Fiddler is a complete daddy's boy.He will just lay in my husband's arms and kiss him, or groom him and just generally be sweet to him. Fiddler loves me, sure, but when I put my head down for a kiss, he might give me one reluctant kiss if any, when only moment s before he lavished kisses onto my hubby. Hiro, however, prefers me, I think. He will not lay in hubby's arms and sleep like he does mine. He doesn't really give kisses to anyone much, but he does groom me, and he follows me around like he is my shadow, so often I end up carrying him with me wherever I go. Just this past evening, I was on the couch, and he was on my chest sleeping. Hubby thought it was so cute, he came over to kiss him and pet him, and when he brought his face over to kiss him, Hiro batted his face with his paws, and then conveniently repositioned himself so that he was not facing hubby anymore. He did this several times. He has never done that to me.
So does your fuzz just prefer you, or do they fancy someone else in the household best?

I live alone, but I have people over often enough. My Dutzi always licks my nose when I pick her up, but won't lick anyone else's. I keep trying to get her to lick the cat's nose, so they can become better friends, but she doesn't get the idea.

Megaweasel loves me more, but he likes my bf more and its infuriating! He'd rather play with him and sleep in his lap, but when he wants food he always comes to me. The others like me more I think....

Boris is MY boy . He runs to mamma if papa is teasing him too much However, Lucrezia, Athena, and Willow are most definitely daddy's girls

Merlin will give me kisses and sometimes will snuggle up for a cuddle, and will sit on my feet if he thinks I am ignoring him, as if to say "no you are not moving until you pick me up". He loves playing rough with my husband because he plays rough back. Merlin will jump on the lounge and go to the spot where Mark sits, and when he is not home, Merlin will search all over the seat for him and give me a question look, it is so sweet. Ozzie does not like anyone else but me, he never has. Buffy and Bindi will run up to Mark and bite him for no reason at all other than that he is there.

Pixie was my mom's before she was "mine," and although it was years ago, she still prefers my mom over me and she looks forward to seeing her (although she will sulk and make my mom pay for not visiting the ferts more often, ha).
The other three are more bonded with me than anyone else (I'm generally the only one around LOL), but Yogi's open to meeting people and will climb and explore people who visit, whereas Sian is only interested in me, really, and my mom on a good day, and will run away from anyone else. Hiko will become upset with anyone but me (often becoming bitey), although he will tolerate my mom on occasion.

Martin is a momma's boy for sure And I LOVE it. Calvin really doesn't have much care for me unless I have food or he wants to play However Calvin does seem a bit more bonded with my boyfriend. Crazy critters

We have the same deal over here, Mojito is a total daddy's boy. He tries to fallow my fiancee out the door- he looks for my fiancee when he isnt home, sits in my fiancees chair when he isnt home and as soon as he gets home, Mojito becomes the happiest ferret around. Daddy loves him to death too, its too cute when they play together! Kahlua is a momma's girl, she fallows me around, insists on coming with me when i go side to walk Tequila, throw out the trash, check the mail or laundry. She fallows me around the house and she loves to have grooming sessions with me (i scratch her back and she licks my arm) She will do it at any time but after a bath she is crazy for grooming sessions, she curls up on my lap and i scratch her back while she licks my arm (or grooms herself) and if i stop scratching her back she stops licking and grooming and stares at me until I start again. When Tequila and Mojito are playing (they sometimes get really into it and ignore her) she will climb my leg or the couch to come curl up with me or she will bring a toy over for me to play with. Of course she loves her dad and Mojito loves his mom but there is surly favoritism in our home lol

Rob isn't home enough to really bond with any of the ferrets, but I do know he likes Crumb and Slink... Ping is bonded with my oldest Emmett, from the first day she got here went to him crawled up his shirt sleeve and went to sleep...she won't do that to anyone.... Tai "Fatty Girl" is my baby, she's the only one that responds to her name...I can call to her when she's sleeping and she'll wake up... Godiva gives loves to everyone, lots of kisses from her! The rest...I don't think it matters one way or another.... Sophie Ann and Velma don't care who they bite....

Jeff is rarely home (generally works over 60-70 hours/week), but the boys still love him. Booth likes everyone, but always follows daddy around and wants him to play with rather than me when he is home.
Lincoln doesn't seem to care, though he only lets me hold him for a long time.
Bonkers is definitely a momma's boy, though I had him before I knew Jeff.
And Riley is our new addition. Jeff doesn't seem as interested in her though he was the one who wanted her. So I'm usually the one caring for her so she likes me better.
