Ferret Thanksgiving Series, 2015 Part 11

We couldn't get any shots of Pepper with Millie and Gara, as they were not getting along. Gara is a bully, and Pepper was pretty depressed from losing Bear.
Pepper!

Pepper in a very tiny bed

It takes an inordinate amount of effort for her to fit, but she loves it.

Bedtime!

Gara and Millie snuggling with Pepper and Bear. Yes! They’re all in there…somewhere. See if you can find Bear’s head!

Tell me again…

Why do we put in all the extra beds?

Pepper

075

This is Pepper, all grown up. She’s tiny! Aside from physical size and a pointed tail, she’s dead-ringer for Minion.

I did my best to identify them, but ferret piles are fickle things.

Poor Ares, Part 4

Definitely Minion attacking Ares this time, because that black butt with a pointed tail is Pepper.

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.
