Hi to everyone! Day before yesterday I found the FML (we had one male ferret - Bear). Yesterday we adopted a 7 week old baby girl - Sasha! We're so excited that we can hardly do anything but watch her and Bear. Bear came to us from a family who did nothing but keeping him in his cage and feed him. At first he would not allow us to hold him at all, we've gradually worked up to where we can hold him for about 5 minutes. I expected Bear to be excited about having a new playmate but his true reaction totally blew me away! Sasha was asleep (totally tuckered out from her trip home) and we showed Bear the new baby! His first reaction was to start shaking violently. I thought he was scared but maybe he was excited. I gradually held him up to the sleeping Sasha again and he climbed right into my husbands arms with Sasha and totally took over. He sniffed her all over, licked her ears and nose then settled down to sleep beside her in Johns lap with Sasha tucked in beside him for 45 minutes. He let us know in no uncertain terms that this is HIS baby! He guards her, takes her for walks, shows her where things are....the entire trip. I spent the majority of last evening laughing my head off at how Bear had become and "insta-Mom". The rest of the evening I spent taking pictures of these two together! Hopefully I can figure out how to upload them to a site so everyone can see them. I don't know if this is appropriate mail for the list but I'm so excited and happy that I just had to share with someone who loves these little guys as much as I do! I'd love to hear about your guys too, I've read all the Ferret sites and postings and look forward to more!! Sandy, John, Bear and baby Sasha [Posted in FML issue 1755]
