Minsc, aka “Fatty”

He apparently was having a bad butt day.

In pursuit

045

It’s wiggling on its own. He’s still not sure what the heck to think.

Fatty in contemplation

He’s not sure what to make of this new toy (at the cousins’ house).

One of these is not like the other

I remember the days when I used to think Minion was corpulent. How little did I know…

It looks like it’s all fur

It’s not, I’ve tested. He’s a total fatty.

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.
