Trevor wrote about blue ferrets:
The biggest scare that Potpie ever, ever gave me was about a year after
I'd gotten her, and she was spending a lot of time running around the
upstairs floor while i was downstairs on the computer. One night in the
wee hours of the morning, when i went upstairs to put Potpie and myself
to bed, i noticed that her entire FACE was stained blue - except for her
nose, which was as pink as always.
 
I spazzed. I freaked. She ran around my feet, staring up at me, mask
still black against a now-blue background, looking vaguely smurf-like. I
thought she'd gotten into and eaten some cosmetics, so at 2 am, i scoured
and dug through every crevice in the bathroom, my closets, pulled
dressers and beds and couches around, all the while being followed by
this adorable blue-faced ferret.  Finally, after an exhausting,
near-frantic search, i found the culprit - an old bag of aquarium gravel
in a paper grocery bag that i used to weight the top of my rat's cage -
she'd torn open the bag of gravel and nosed it all around the inside of
the grocery bag. Buh!
