Everybody came out at about 5:00, and went back in about 8:00, even though on my sheet I put 7:00 ... it took me nearly an hour to clean up and put everyone to bed .. okay I must have been goofing around cause a grand total of five ferrets don't make that much mess !!!
Tommy and Bailey came out to the back room, and Chickpea, Phillip and Terrance had the front room. Chickpea absolutely exploded out of the cage, and I couldn't get over how much she's changed in only a week .. she looks a lot chubbier and her coat is different too .. as every she's not lacking in energy. P&T seemed bowled over so I thought it might be a good time to take Tommy and Bailey for a stroll .. in the stroller, and let Chickpea have some time on her own. I also tried Tommy on the leash, but the harness was too big and bunched under his belly, making him walk oddly, but he sniffed some grass and although a little nervous, quite enjoyed himself.
When they came back in, I took Chickpea out for a stroll but it really seemed to make her quite nervous, so I figured she's rather have P&T along for the ride, Phillip adored being outside, his tail bottle-brushed and he sat and looked out quite happily, Terrance too enjoyed the scenery until Chickpea decided it was more fun to attack Phillip and Terrance than anything else, so we headed back to the shelter.
I switched rooms and put C P & T in the back room, and T & B in the front. Everyone played happily, lots of tubing and treats. Chickpea could care less for hugs, but Phillip and Terrance seem to tolerate them no problem, and of course Tommy and Bailey loved lots of attention. Phillip had his meds.
Just a note, if anyone else is strolling ferrets, should you run into any curious neighbours, it would be best just to say they are your ferrets. Just like in my condo whenever anyone asks how many ferrets I have I say "two" .. and actually now I'm telling the truth !!
The stroller is parked in the far corner of the garage.
Cheers all, Sue
