Cheeba finds a new love - NBones!

Cheeba, my die hard sugar junkie with the severe case of sweet tooth, has just eaten his first NBone!! He never wanted them before, always turned his nose up. His favorite treat for the past couple years has been Raisin Foamy Fries, followed closely by Ferretone. He used to eat Yogies and Cheerios (as an occasional treat), but then he wouldn't touch anything but Ferretone. I tried all the meat based treats with him, and he never wanted them.

So today he's in the new sleeping sack with Bonk after their duck soup. The other 4 get their half an Nbone, and I set about cutting up Cheeba's Foamy Fry. First I hear a hiss, then I hear some dooking, then I hear chewing. So I look into the sleepy sack, and what do I see? CHEEBA has stolen Bonk's NBone, and is rapidly devouring it while moving in circles to keep Bonk away from it! I couldn't believe it! So I take Bonk out, give him a treat, and he munches away happily. Cheeba meanwhile is drooling over that NBone like it's the yummiest thing he's ever eaten. I wait a little while and give him another half of one to see if it's a fluke, and he devours it again! I'll see if I can get some pictures of it soon.

I swear, somedays these little fuzzies just wake up and think "today I'm going to do something that surprises Mommy so much that her mouth drops open and her eyes bug out of her head, just to keep her on her toes." Ferrets, you gotta love them!




Ferret tip of the day is never let your guard down, and never think that anything is completely ferretproof! Ferrets take only a second to get into a total mess, or to get into something that isn't good for them. Take for example today, when I was cleaning litterboxes, left the room to get paper towels, and Sophie managed to get into the garbage can by jumping, catching the edge of the bag, and hauling herself up and over into a pile of dirty litter. Ugh. I'm lucky in that I don't really have to worry about ferretproofing (since they have their own room), but for those of you who have fuzzies running around your house, check out this article. It's really helpful!
