Monty is huge!  The other night I saw him run to the tunnel and dart
inside--for a few inches, and then pull back outside.
 
He turned around in a circle and tried again--rushing inside and stopping
before he got all the way in.
 
And he hasn't tried to go in his beloved tunnel since.  Poor winter guy--
he is just Too Fat to Fit.  I am amazed at his size--his hips are wider
than my hand span and my husband describes him as being "as fat as a
skunk."
 
He has the longest, thickest, softest fur, as well and looks completely
different from his summer weight except for his sweet expression and the
black stripe which has re-grown down his spine.
 
Poor Madison--he's gained a little and fluffed a little but he's not as
big as his brother.  If ferret size correlates with a bitter cold winter,
looking at Mr. Montgomery we should all be afraid...very afraid...
 
Kate, Monty and Madison
