Yes, we got two ferrets for Christmas! It all started with my sister calling from Boise and asking if I'd mind babysitting a 10 week old baby ferret for the two weeks until Christmas. Like I'm going to say no; she had me at baby... Well, after one week of taking care of the little girl we had all fallen in love with her. So back to Boise go both my sister and I - she to get two ferrets and me to get one more; like many animals they like a buddy. We were able to get our little girl's brother and my sister got two brothers. There was no way I could hide three ferrets from the kids so they found out early that we would keep the little girl and her brother for us but we'd also be babysitting the other two for a week or so.
The ferret above is Wolfie, our little male.
This is Stella, the little girl that started it all.
Wolfie again, he's waving at you before he goes nite nite. They are amazing animals. Incredibly curious and playful and no fear whatsoever! Their personality is somewhere between a cat's and a dog's.
They sleep about 18 hours a day and when they sleep they are completely zonked out, so funny!
Stella - as a female she'll be about half the size of her brother.
Stella fell in love when I made this "cat" toy. Bells and shiny stuff make them crazy!
I'm putting more pictures, if you can stand it, over at Flickr. My daughter got one of these
