John Rosloot from Regina visited me today and brought his two ferrets.
Unfortunately, Gila decided to be anti-social, so we had to keep them
separate.  By the end of the evening, however, she was at least sniffing at
Bud and Cassie through the cage rather than snapping at them!  :)  That
is some progress.
 
What a difference in size!  I would say Cassie is an average female and
she is almost twice the size of Gila.
 
A friend stopped by while John was here, so I introduced him.  He always
called Cocoa (my late ferret) a furry slinky and said the same thing
again.  Too bad he didn't stick around this evening - Cassie coming
down the stairs did indeed look like a slinky with fur, although thankfully
she didn't tumble end over end!
 
In other news, Gila is getting a little friendlier - hasn't bitten my
face for a couple of weeks!  :{  She is still very skittish, but she is
very playful which is nice to see.  She bites a little too hard when
playing, but at least she plays.
 
Only three more weeks.  sniff, sniff.  maybe I should get another one
after I give Gila back.  Even with her anti-social tendencies, she is
good company.
