Floppy Ysabell

Not the politest of pictures, but hilarious due to the placement of her hind right foot.

The Teeny Tiny Ferret Box

2009.04

They love this thing. It was originally intended to have a hole small enough that only Ysabell should be able to fit inside. Naturally, the other two promptly performed some ferret magic and squeezed in. Thankfully, Ysabell doesn’t mind sharing.

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.
