Well, I think it's about time I introduce myself... I have been lurking for a while. My name is Beth. I am owned by two ferrets and their 4 1/2 year old partner in crime - otherwise known as my daughter Malikah. My first ferret is a really cute MF 1 year old female sable. She has freckles on her nose and a very loving nature. She loves to run and climb and hide when my daughter isn't around. But when she is, she has to be petted and loved. Malikah will lie on her stomach on the floor to watch tv and if Minerva is out and Malikah hasn't acknowledged her she will pace back and forth on top of her until she gets her love. My second ferret, another MF female, is a cinnamon, a little over 2 months, and boy is she bossy. Her name is Frumpstiggle the Marsh Wiggle. Ands she is the Queen of her domain. She is definitely the most vocal ferret I have ever come across. She talks almost the entire time she is awake. I'm glad they are happy noises! When we first got Frumpstiggle, she was so cute and so little we wanted to call her Pookie. After observing her with Minerva, we thought well, hey maybe Pookie isn't the best name for a dominant ferret. My daughter thought Pookie was a stupid name. After a few weeks of Poopy, Pukey, and Poofy we decided to let Mali name her. And it fits... Frumpstiggle is constantly rehearsing for the Olympics. She has an excellent high jump, has mastered swimming, getting better at wrestling, and should definitely get a gold in tumbling. Minerva is destined for Hollywood. She is a perfect mimic. Right now she is studying facial expressions, she definitely has the pout worked out, but still needs some work on dirty looks... We all live in Colorado and have still yet to find a vet or a food and toy store we are happy with.
