A closeup shot of the Her Highness, the Teeny Tiny Terror

It’s hard to get a good picture of Ysabell because she’s either always moving, or the flash on the camera gives her laser eyes. Here’s a non-flash picture of one of her few still moments.

A new place to play…

This is Jack Jack on top of their cube bed. I swear Minion wasn’t anywhere he could see this, then later I walked in on this:

Minion: And you said I was too big…

Meabh: Yeah, well, I cut that hole small so you wouldn’t be able to fit! It was supposed to be Ysabell’s box, you great lump. 😛

We’re not too sure what’s going on in these pictures, but they do send us into fits of giggles:

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.
