Well the household has grown once again.  It all started with my
sister-in-law asking about ferrets.  She was wondering if she should get
one.  Well, knowing that ferrets need *LOTS* of time out of their cages, we
brought our well-mannered Tozer to their house for Thanksgiving to educate
her!!
 
After learning how much fun fuzzies like to have and how much work it is to
keep them out of everything, she decided not to accept the free fuzzy from
her girlfriend.  Smart decision.  Besides that, she has two dogs, two
rabbits, one guinea pig and one cat who was not at all impressed with yet
another animal in HIS home.
 
Well, a couple of days later her girlfriend called me and asked me if I
would be interested in another fuzzy.  She said that the ferret was about 3
years old and was very affectionate.
 
I brought her home and if you looked at her quickly you'd swear she was a
kit.  Skinny and SO tiny.  She's a tiny black sable, but boy is she cute!
Nice markings and a nice black mask.  Her diet consisted of Iams kitten food
in one bowl and raisins and Cheerios in another bowl!  Her fur is very
coarse.  She took a liking to the Totally Ferret so in a few weeks, I'll
post whether or not she gets any larger and if her fur improves any.
Lazarus is now the biggest ferret and *IS his fur soft* - he feels like he
went through the softener cycle!  Actually Tozer and Rascal also are very
soft, I think Totally Ferret is an excellent choice for a ferret diet.  If
my sweetish ever got sick, they could afford to lose weight and not be in
immediate danger.  The little one on the other hand, she'd probably die for
the lack of fat on her.  Well, thanks for letting me introduce our newest
fuzzy to the Flywheels - Raspberry!!
 
Darlene, Rascal, Toys, Lazarus and now Raspberry
