These are a few of my favorite things...

Just a few things I love about my ferrets...

• The way that Bonk always smiles when he wakes up and sees that it's me holding him


• The way that Mojo's tongue sticks out while he totally blisses out when he's laying on his back and I'm rubbing the back of his neck


• How Sophie yawns and grabs onto my finger when I wake her up for her duck soup feedings


• How Cheeba says hello by sticking his nose in my ear and sniffing it for a few seconds


• How Jebabba licks my arm and tries to groom me whenever I reach over him


• The way that Smoke jumps up and down along the playpen barrier like a circus poodle whenever he sees me at my computer

I was just up there spending time with my little ones, and I realized how much joy they bring me. It makes me sad (and a little angry) that ferrets get such a bad rap. People just don't understand what wonderful creatures they are, how each one has their own distinct personality and quirks. Ferrets are amazing animals and wonderful companions. So in reality, I guess I pity the people who will never know the love of a ferret.



Today's ferret tip is regarding prednisone. Never give prednisone on an empty stomach! Prednisone can cause ulcers, and for an already sick fuzzy, ulcers can be very difficult. Always feed your ferret some duck soup before dosing it.
