Photographer: Um, no thanks. You already bit me this morning.

Ys: And I’m still hungry.

Sleeping Ferret #5202

2009.03

Why are there so many pictures of sleeping ferrets, you ask?

1. They sleep a lot.

2. You ever tried to get a good picture of a moving ferret? Didn’t think so. :p

A lost friend

Bandit, after a long period of illness (at least, long in ferret time), has passed on. We’ll all miss him.

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.
