Otherwise known as “Zoe is on the bed, hide me, hide me!” time. 🙂

She nibbles. >.>;

Hi Zoe…Whoa!

027

Minion! What are you doing?! Augh! >.>;

(I’m guessing post-nail trim and she has the eu de Ferretone on her belly. Minion is an addict.)

Undignified

025

Pogle said I had to be less picky about the pictures I post, so have one very undignified Zoe. If she had a Facebook page, you know this would be her profile pic. 😉

One of these is not like the other

I remember the days when I used to think Minion was corpulent. How little did I know…

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.
