Ferret Antics & Pet Matters

Four little kittens were found in my backyard after coming through a space in the fence. Thinking they belonged to my neighbor, I went out to put them back into their yard. When I looked at them up close I saw that their eyes were badly infected. They appeared to be about 5 weeks old. I realized they were strays and if I left them they would die so I brought them in. I took them to my vet and cared for them for a few days til I found a rescue who could care for them better than I could. They are still healing but doing much better and all of them can finally see. Here are three of them playing together. The foster named them Hibiscus (biscuits for short), Dill, Basil, and Parsley.

Fern, Ivy, and Mari ferret explore snow for the first time. They really wanted to like it and play outside but it was way too cold and all they wanted to do was run back inside to get out of the cold.

Fern the ferret shows you what she really thinks of the cold snow. "No way mama! I not going out there! You cwazy!" I couldn't help but laugh when she ran away.

Fern and Mari are BFFs (best ferret friends). They love to explore together. Today they have found a box of goodies to explore.

Fern, Ivy, and Mari playing in their newly discovered "toy" box. These adorable little ferrets love getting (or finding) new toys, playing, and exploring. They have no idea that this box is actually from chewy.com and their food was delivered in it. Wait... maybe they do know. Maybe they can still smell it in the box. Food and fun from one box. What more could a ferret want?
