Well I finally picked up my two ferrets last night. They are both female and about 3 years in age. They are absolutely wonderful... more than I could have hoped for. Their names are Helen (her mask is a beautiful dark color and quite pretty) and Ceridwen (the Kittymalt poster girl) *laugh* While Helen settled in quite nicely, Ceridwen took a bit longer... she was scratching at herself constantly as if she had fleas or something, but after a thorough check of the slightly squirming critter, she had no such signs. I am assuming that perhaps this was due to the stress of being moved to a new home, and she seems to have calmed down nicely. Figured the kittymalt would be a good thing for her if she kept lapping and nipping the way she was, and boy did she love the kittymalt... thank god for small things, they also dont seem to mind getting their nails clipped... although I am hesitant to think about what shampooing them will be like *grin* So. My question is this: I thought that most ferret stool was black and bellet like, more like rabbits. Theirs tends to be red/orange in coloration. Is this normal? They seem quite fine, I just want to make sure :) -- The Ferret Sisters Act of the Week: "Food? food? wherewherewhere?! *sniffsnifflesnuffle* no more goodies?!? *pout* *slinks away rapidly in search of more snacks*" -- Inspired by the looks of Meeko from Pocahontas when looking for biscuits.
