Ferrets like the fall

The ferrets are really enjoying the cooler weather we've been ahving lately. We have been taking some walks around the neighborhood, and sometimes we take ferrets along. We can't do that in the summer because they overheat and need to get back inside quickly. Rex went for a walk with us over the weekend.

Another thing the ferrets like about fall is that it is cool enough to have the windows open. With the windows open, all sorts of sounds and smells come drifting in, which makes them very curious. The ferrets enjoy climbing up to the windowsill to look around at the outside world.

Brussels is still suffering symptoms (mainly his tail hair continues to fall out). We are monitoring him pretty closely. It would be best if he doesn't need surgery (since the recovery can be stressful on him), but it is still possible. Here is Brussels relaxing on the couch.
