Many animals commence seemingly instinctual habits at the dawn of winter. Indoor or otherwise domestic animals do not really need to follow the actions of their wild ancestors. However, that will not stop them.
Many ferret’s coats will change in the winter. They often become thicker, and the underlayer lightens in color. As this is happening, you might notice a sudden increase in shedding. The colder it is around their enclosure, the more drastic this change will most likely be.
Behavioral habits can also change. Goose has begun storing food. The food inside the cage is unaffected, but the cat food is a different story. She will commence chomping as usual until instincts kick in, she grabs a piece of food, and books it across the room. If one of the people sees it, we triumphantly slide across the room at startling speeds in an attempt to catch her. All selected food has been hidden behind the couch of treasures. Through thorough research, we can conclude that little if any of the couch food gets eaten. She is storing it for harder times.
To rectify this situation, the cat food gets put up when the beast is released.
Make sure you observe any new habits and always know where their hiding spots are.
