Relaxing with the ferrets

I have been thinking of the ferrets even more than usual lately, since we are trying to arrange for a ferret sitter over our vacation in March. I think we have something worked out now, which is good. Also, we finally got tickets for the trip. It should be pretty awesome--I am really starting to get excited about it.

Here are a few ferret-related pictures from the last week. This first shot features a cow I got from Christmas that the ferrets are starting to cozy up to. Here Rex is snuggled next to the cow while relaxing in a hammock.

Chewbacca really likes to start his playtimes by getting some rubbing , especially on his head. Brian is sympathetic to this and will usually spend about 5 minutes snuggling with Rex and getting him to wake up every evening.



Brussels and I play with many objects. One that has been popular this month is a bag. Here I captured Brussels in the bag and gave him to Brian as a gift. While Brussels is a great gift, an extra-hyper ferret in a bag can be a tricky thing to handle!

Cows and ferrets share DNA, I believe about 99.9%, with the 0.1% affecting the difference in size plus the white and black skin colors (although scientists have found a line of ferrets that are white with black spots, variously named "cowrets" or "ferrows"). If ferrets had vocal cords, scientists also opine that when they yawn they actually would say "moo". I think these were Florida State University scientists.
