Well, sadly our little business is just Ares and Millie currently. We’ve caught both of them sort of looking around aimlessly over the past week, likely looking for their life partners. Ares and Draco were together for years, and Minsc was the only ferret with the energy levels anywhere near what are needed to keep up with Millie.
Also, apparently Millie is extremely smart, and we just never noticed because she was too busy harassing Minsc before. The first playtime after we lost him, she promptly escaped from the playroom and ran rampant through the house. I’m expecting to find fossilized ferret poop in the oddest place in a year or two. She might be channeling Jack-Jack and his Houdini tendencies…
So yeah, she needs a playmate. She wears Ares out, then harasses me constantly, and is usually still going strong when I’m exhausted and ready to go to bed. She’s regressed somewhat on her bite training too, so I’m having to put a lot of effort into that once more; she was doing really good for a while, but lately is getting aggressive and chompy again.
Aww, what a bittersweet sad situation it must be for you two right now. I imagine you are missing all your babies terribly…I can’t even write this without getting teary over all the loss you’ve had recently. 🙁 Poor Millie sounds like she does need a playmate, if only to save your toes and get some of her energy out so she sleeps well at night. And poor Ares is probably thinking “Oh no…it’s just me and HER. I’m afraid.” Hopefully, you can find the right little girl or fellow to add to your business, a youngster who needs you – any ferret would be lucky to have you adopt them. My thoughts are with all of you… Sydney
