Hey, let go of my posterior!

Jack Jack doesn’t quite so much hang around as hang upside down.

Hanging around

Minion just hanging around. I’m going to go giggle myself insensible now, that level of cuteness is dangerous you know.

Wait a minute…

Minion’s head, Jack Jack’s hind feet and tail, and Ysabell’s head. These things just seem to happen.

Our very own "Read!" poster, perhaps?

Yes, it is quite common in this household to be quietly reading and suddenly find a ferret on you. In pog’s case, usually on his head.

A reading buddy…

I still miss Oscar the dog, my original reading buddy. I’ll be sure to get lots of pictures of him when we visit my parents in a couple of weeks.

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.
