ferret update

The ferrets have been busy lately, playing and sleeping and eating and exploring. Chewbacca got a new (cat) toy that consists of different levels covered in carpet and several dangling balls. Here he has grabbed one of the balls and is chewing on it. The balls have rattles inside that make them very tempting.

One thing the ferrets like about their new room is the windows. They like to check out the windows, blinds, cord for the blinds, etc. Here Rex is looking out the window to see what he can see.

The ferrets love to play on the futon, which is on their room partially for that reason. Below the futon, there is an extensive network of tubes that they love to run through. On the futon, they love to jump and play. Having a blanket on the back makes it a lot easier for the ferrets to climb up to the very top. Here Eve is showing her climbing abilities. I think she is the best climber, partially because she has the smallest amount of weight to pull up.

Brussels is recovering well from his surgery. He still has some bald spots (like here on his rear leg), but the fur is starting to grow back in, which is a good sign (it means that his hormone levels are returning to normal). Here you can also see the carpet that we put in 1/2 of the room for the ferrets to play on.
