More tussling

Awkward photo angle due to me taking a photo while they fought behind my back…so scary.

Fear the ducks.

More tussling behind my back

So engrossed in the fight that they’re not even going after my mp3 player.

Ys plays with fishies on a rope

Yes, we do collect boxes for them to play in. You would too after you had Ys bite you a few times (more cardboard for her to hole punch = less she gnaws on us).

Oooooooo

Minion is obsessed with Klondike foil wrappers. Ysabell desides to see what all the fuss is about.

Demonic glowy-eyed Ysabell retaliates

The base of the tail is a favorite target. Looks painful…

WARNING: Ferrets are not for everyone

1.) For their own safety, ferrets should not be allowed to roam free in the house without supervision. Ferrets have far too much curiosity and not enough sense of self preservation.
2.) Ferrets should have 1-4 hours of playtime every day (how much really depends on your ferret; mine pass out after 1 to 2 hours). A playpen will work in a pinch, but a ferret-proofed room in your house is preferable. They love to run (and to be chased)!
3.) Ferrets do not live very long in the US (on average only about 6 years). They are also very prone to health issues. There *will* be vet bills. Minion cost us $600 when he had a blockage from ingesting part of a couch, and that's *without* surgery.
