Weasel Weasel our 2nd and yeah pet store bought ferret. Since Having thrasher and all books I ve read pretty much said it is good to have a buddy, and my wife wanting to pick one for her, we went to Pet Co. and looked. Right off the back there was a little brown sable that my wife just fell in love with and my wife just loved the way he d relax while holding him. Well she said see you can get a relaxed and not wild ferret as thrasher, and this one is the one. Needless to say Weasel came home with us, and I learned his personality pretty quick, while at the pet store he was doing his emmy award winning acting, cause once we got home and introduced thrasher to him, those two bonded and got along, very playful, with their antics. And both did do the Strongman competition between the two but, when one did a eeEEKk! They would stop and even looked like they also apologized to one another and then played something else. Weasel around his first Birthday got sick real bad, and depressed, wound up with the Helibactor bacterial infection and some what depressed. So while he was treated at the vet, they could not get him to eat. And said they done what they could do but he will not eat. So we went to see him and under impressing that he s not eating and been giving the meds but if he does not eat well it will be terrible and lay him down. Anyway upon being in the room where weasel was in the vet cage under all his blankees we brought and it was his food we brought too. He was under the blankets and only his pink nose did you see. My wife was already tearing, and said Weasel why are you not eating? Weasel? Right then Weasel popped up came out saw his momma there and then frantically with his teeth trying and shaking the cage trying to get out to my wife. She opened the cage and grabbed weasel sat done and weasel even though weak was licking and seemed to be happy. So I grabbed a handful of his food in my hand and opend it to Weasel, and supprisingly he started to eat ate it all and then half of another handful. So then we took Weasel, home had to give him all his meds, and hills A/D and his dry food, by catering to him and every couple of days went back to our vet to see progress status. Each time better reports and eventually a 100% healthy ferret! But, it took 7 months of maid mommy and butler daddy of serving the Weasel and getting him what ever it was he wanted. Now today he is what we call our Lady s Man, Poser, and Gigolo as he been even more happy from girl ferrets that we ve obtained (In future happy postings). And of course all the girl ferrets well they love Weasel. He has normally during outing time two female ferrets following him around. He s also the perfect poser for the camera for us and during quality time Weasel just makes mommas day each and every time. As you will always hear momma say. OH look at my Weasel? Or Weasel, Weasel, my Weasel butts? But Then also you ll hear her sometimes say Weasel! Weasel if it was one of the others! They d be in Big trouble! But, not mommas Weasel! My Wife has a bond from all the special care she had to give Weasel, that some nights weasel sleeps with momma with us instead of in the cage. Weasel will knot up but burrow himself in mommas hair that she finds it so cute she can t bother to wake him and she ll let him sleep right there. Weasel has been our experiencing ferret with depression and the helibactor bacterial infection, but also is momma special buddy. His funny charm and personality is well amusing, and a natural. So till our next happy posting Darryl & Angela Smith Georgia F.E.R.R.E.T.S. [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 4330]
