Everybody else was having more kids so we decided to adopt ferrets. Two boys actually and Bells named them Rex (actually T Rex but we shortened it) and Zoro. We got them just about a month ago and love having them around. Bells really enjoys having them. She makes sure to give them loves as soon as she gets up. She even woke me up at 2:30 am to tell me that the boys want to come out and play. They go everywhere with us. We took them to the park and they loved running around and digging. They went with us to Grandma Tiger and Papa's house. My parents love ferrets and had lots of fun with them. My mom even said she would babysit if we needed. They loved going in the backyard where my dad has a putting green and helping Miah golf. Rex is really good at golfing. Miah took a shot, missed and Rex pushed it across with his nose and put it right in the hole. I wish we had it on video!! Bells loves running around and acting like a "lazy ferret" as she calls it.
This is Rex, he has a cinnamon colored face and loves our attention. He loves to crawl into places, up pants and thinks Miah is his protector. He will always run to Miah and hide on / behind his foot. It is very funny. He really likes people's attention and will just hangout by you. He loves chasing ping pong balls around the house for hours, seriously! I will post a video, it is very entertaining.
Bells and I giving Rex some love.
Rex crawling up Miah's pant leg into his sweatshirt.
Cute little Zoro. He is the cuddle bug. But he rather be out exploring on his own. He will fall asleep on Bells' lap while she watches some cartoons. He steals all his toys and hides them in corners. It is a fun game, letting him drag all his toys in one corner and then take them out and scatter them around the house. He will play hard and then fall asleep curled up in a corner.
They will crawl into about anything.
The best thing to watch....them wrestling each other. They just go at it for ever. Then you get involved and they will team up on you. You'd better run for cover.
Zoro getting some loves from Bells. They really are troopers with Bells dragging them around and shoving them down their slides. But they love her and chase her around the house.
One of their favorite toys, a rope with a fish on the end.
They are babies and so we are training them right now. The are already potty trained, whew! I don't want to go through potty training again. Rex did like to chew on your toes a bit but we broke him from that. We are working on tricks right now but since they are kits (baby ferrets) they have so much energy, you only spend a few minutes at a time training them.
We love having them around. Miah was a bit nervous, he didn't know much about them but I was onboard. I had them growing up and loved them.
We now have three kids, which means we caught up to most of our friends!
Instead of the crazy cat lady, we might become the crazy ferret family.
