Every morning before work and before I put the beasties in their
cages I let them into the main area of the house to explore and play
(hopefully). Beezel is one of several beasties that share my home and
love. Beezel came to me as a severe biter by no fault of his own. He
was rescued in Colorado by a friend, an older ferret that was skinny,
coat like straw and totally untrusting of humans. We can only imagine
his history, but whatever it was he was seriously scarred for life.
Beezel is not a Marshalls, thought to be a Rainbow Exotic that suffered
horribly at the hands of ignorant people.

Beezel is one of the reasons I had to start caging the beasties. The
beasties are the ferrets that don't get along with all of the others
so they need to be caged when I'm not home and separated when I'm
sleeping. As much as Serena loves her ferrets, Beezel is the only one
she keeps her distance from and will actually run from him if he comes
her way. He's never hurt her, she just feels safer keeping him at a
distance.

Yesterday morning and this morning when I opened the gate to let the
beasties come into the main house, I was nicely surprised to see Beezel
bounce happily around the house, darting in and out of rooms, under
cages, into tubes, and just generally having a good time. This doesn't
happen often enough, and his attitude can change in an instant, so
these past two mornings were very special to both of us.
