Where's Minion?

Yesterday Minion had a reaction to his Canine Distemper shot. We took him to the vet this morning and he said that while Minion is running a slight fever still, everything else looks okay. Hopefully he’ll be back to his rotten little self by Monday.

The Claw is our master. It decides who will go and who will stay.

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.
