Mute ferret was born under the dock of a banjo factory in Backwater, West Virginia. His mother was scared by a mime while carrying him, so he was born without the ability to speak, and learned to express himself through his skills with the banjo. After his parents tragic death in a banjo-stringing accident, he set out on his own and was discovered by the PawPet show crew performing for change on the street. Now he occasionally gets to show his stuff by dueling with banjos with the cast.
