As you can no doubt see, Minion, whom we often refer to as Chubbicus due to his size compared to Ysabell and Jack-Jack, is dwarfed in comparison to Ares and Draco.

Meet the extended family of ferrets! From left to right: Draco, Nix, Ysabell/ Jack-jack/Minion, Ares

Draco, Ares, and Nix are our cousin’s ferrets. They got to visit ours at Thanksgiving, and we’re babysitting them for a little while now 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.
