Monday

Sorry I forgot to write in the book !!

 

All poops were loose, but all in the litter boxes as far as I found.

 

The groups were separated girls and boys and everyone had a chance to play in both rooms. Jinx is funny, when he was in the back room he seemed to just want to watch at the gate for my return, but when he was in the room where I was he wasn't all that interested, he just seems to like to have a human around. But he was a real snuggle-bunny, I got loads of snuggles and ear-snuffles from him .. he will make someone a fine lap ferret one day I hope. Jinx was more than eager to help Cash eat his AD, I let him have a bit but then took Cash off on his own to eat. He ate almost all that was remaining in the can, about 1/2. The small leftover I left in his cage.

 

Another sorry, I left the yesterday's food bowl from Cash soaking in the sink.

 

I left my boots at the back door on a towel, inside the back room. Freddy really enjoyed crawling inside and resting there. The girls loved the Bandits. Note to anyone who might be thinking of taking Freddy .. she really likes Bandits !(and boots) !! She has filled out wonderfully, beautiful tail,great silky fur and quite the pear-shape taking hold.

 

I brought in one of my scrapers, as whenever I have to clean up any dried poop I'm at a loss without one. It got most of the mess up from under the girls cage.I've left it on the side of the sink with the cleaners, etc.

 

Everyone was quite active for their two hours .. cheers all, Sue

 

Monday

It was a fairly quiet afternoon, no one was crazy playful but the big group were active and causing trouble for their whole time out. I had hoped to put the large group in the back room so that I could spend more time with the boys while I was cleaning cages. But after either Sadie or Sarah oozed under the gate twice I put the large group in the front room. Next time I'll try stuffing a towel in the hole (thanks Deb M!!).

 

Fredrica is absolutely gorgeous, she's soft as silk and has a very impressive tail. She doesn't seem to be having any problems in the group, they mostly ran in a pack, as soon as I put a waterbowl down on the floor when cleaning out a cage, everyone came over to drink out of it, and then the group would investigate all the blankies that came out of the cage. As soon as I was done, at least one of them had to try and climb in to inspect. And they were determined to mess up any clean spots I made. Total sweethearts, the whole bunch. Either Sarah or Sadie put herself to bed, in her own cage, very cute, probably about half an hour before the rest went back in.

 

Jinx was the most active of the small group. Cash and Loot were to be found snoring every time I came into the the room, but they'd wake up and have a treat and a bit of interaction while I was in with them. Cash had finished the AD in his bowl, he ate about 1/4 can (mixed with some hot water), he really wanted it off the spoon (I think ferrets recognize that I'm a sucker for spoon feeding), I had put out 1/2 can but he only ate 1/2 so I put the other 1/2 in his cage and the rest of the can in Randy's fridge. Jinx certainly feels like a good hefty man, but Cash and Loot are skinny, there were only three or four tiny poops in Cash's cage.

 

Sundance was the only one who I found had not been using his litter. Luckily he used the small cloth on his food level so it was an easy clean.

 

Cheers all, Sue
