Still Teasing Draco

2010.10

He’s such a pretty ferret, and very well behaved…as long as you’re not a sock covered toe.

The “Me Wanty” Pose

2010.10

Have I ever shown you the “me wanty” ferret pose? Draco’s front paws are almost clasped; when doing the “me wanty” motion, ferrets will sit on their haunches (the “prairie dog” pose, we call it) and make a repeated grasping motion with their front paws. It’s quite cute, but also a little Igor-ish.

Full House

I did my best to identify them, but ferret piles are fickle things.

Guess who?

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

The shoe stealer

You can tell how pleased he is with himself by the way he’s prancing away to stash Jason’s shoe.

Draco is looking a little…squished

2010.05

Someone has been slacking off on his ferret picture duties since he started back to work, so I guess it’s time I gave ya’ll a fix. The upcoming photos are primarily from Christmas with the cousins, so prepare for some plumpies!

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.
