Nix has apparently fainted

Or she’s just playing dead, tempting another ferret to step closer…

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.
