Pester and Peekaboo both have really filled out. I pick them up and note that when they first came here they were not skin and bones but they had very little body tone and not one bit of extra weight anywhere on them. Today I pick them up, they are fully round, firm and very active. Good exercise and good feed goes a long way. They eat more than that pet Hippopotamus I had. At least they don't fill up the litter pan like the Hippo did. They are easier to carry around than the hippo but are quickly beginning to contest that. I have seen ferrets that really bond to each other, they become the very best of friends amenable to the other in every way always. These two are bonding but Pester is so very active. Peekaboo is older but also challenged with sight and hearing. She does fine alone and most likely would be better off as a single fert. Pester bugs the ($&^( out of Peekaboo but that kind of rolls off her back some. They do not fight, Peekaboo does dodge Pester allot seeking some peace without challenge but Pester is fast and defeats the dodge. They usually sleep in different places but have been slowly curling up together. Is not a bonding but a matter of convenience I guess. Am glad to have them both. I learn so much about a ferret from each and every one that I have had, these two are no exception by any means. I can't let them loose in the house anymore where they both race for the furniture to burrow deep inside the upholstery. They are in the cage allot now that it is cold on the porch. But is how it has to be. The cage is huge so they still get exercise but not as much. Spring is coming, I know that for a fact where I did see that on the internet, and you know the internet never lies! Gordon, Peekaboo and Pester Rev.
