I have been lurking for almost a year now, so I consider myself very
restrained.  I have learned so much from every one else's posts, I have
cried over the lose of a ferret I didn't know, and rejoiced over the
milestones of more ferrets I didn't know.  I consider myself to be very
lucky to be owned by the five who possess my heart and soul.
 
On to the reason of my post.  I have been reading the nicknames, and
thought I would throw in mine for fun.  Here goes.
 
Cybil- two year old albino female, tiny little ferret.  She is a sweetie,
curious and loving, but not into kisses.  We call her Cyb, Cybbie, Roo, and
the little monster.  If there is trouble, she is in the middle of it.
 
Bullet- two year old silver mitt male.  Average sized, but Dad's special
guy.  He is called Bully, Bully-Boy, Silver Streak, and Meanie.  He is
always dragging someone around.
 
Murphy- age ?  He was literally found on the street.  He is a big guy,
almost 3 pounds.  But as sweet as they make them.  He will eat anything!
He is called Chunk, Chunky Monkey, Mom's Fat man, Fat boy, and Smurf.  This
guy is just so grateful to have a home.
 
Moe- age ?  He is also a rescue.  He is pretty shy, even after 8 months.
We cut him lots of slack, because he was caged for over a year.  He will
probably never seek us out to play, but he loves the other ferrets.  He is
just now getting some muscle tone, and he is a beautiful dark sable.  He is
called Shmoe, Moser, Mosby and Moe-Moe.  He is a very sweet and gentle
ferret for all he was been through.
 
Cassie- she is our other albino female, age is about 9 months.  She was a
horrible biter when I brought her home.  She was 12 weeks old and had been
caged for the 6 weeks she had been away from the pet store.  She just has so
much stored up energy, she vibrated.  I don't think she meant to be bad, she
just got so excited.  It took all I had to convince the family she could be
taught not to bite.  Now she is the best kisser we have.  She is also a big
female, at 2.5 pounds.  We call her Sassy, Cassie-girl, Cassrat, Bratly, and
No No bad ferret.
 
These are my furkids, and their nicknames.  Sorry to have taken so much
time.  Kim and the crew
