You can see her eye mask just beginning to come through.

Guess who?

022

White paws and stashing a shoe, so it about has to be Draco, but the face looks like Minion… Even I’m confused. 😛

Poor Ares, Part 3

With unidentified nose in the tube.

Poor Ares, Part 2

020

There’s no way to tell for sure, so I’m guessing that’s Minion attacking Ares this time (because Ares’ ears are Minions favorite binkies).

This was when Pepper was still young; now she has a white eye mask just like minion as well.

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.
