CHANGE OF SUBJECT MATTER!

So i have a feeling this blog is going to turn into an ode to ferrets. I did the road trip thing and was thinking of other ideas to write about, and when Scooter came into our lives and i realised actually how funny and entertaining ferrets are, it would make sense to share his shenanigans with everyone.
Holding him like this does not hurt him. He is yawning :)
Plus, if others are thinking about owning ferrets, or have some already. They can read this and get tips. My best friend who i live with has bred ferrets in the past, so he is a wealth of knowledge for me. Scooter is 8 weeks old now, and he is growing so fast. He has a big appetite. But all ferrets do. I feed Scotter three times a day with cat food (Wet and dry) and chunks of meat off cuts from the butcher.
Right now, we are potty training. Ten minutes after he eats, he goes back in his cage until he does his business (and he is getting very quick, only because he wants to get out and play more)
Anyway, If any of you guys have any funny stories or cute pictures, I'd love to hear them.

Been a while....

I know i haven't written in a while. Just been busy. But i do have a new member of my little family.
This is Scooter. He is my new ferret and he is six weeks old. He is so cute and playful. And is pretty well behaved for a ferret. He has learned that its not ok to bite already, after 3 days! and we have only had one accident where he did not go to the toilet in his litter box.
I have owned a ferret before. They are wonderful pets. A lot of people think they are lazy animals. They do sleep a lot, up to 18 hours a day. But when they are awake, it's full on! They are so inquisitive and curious. and you have to watch them too because they can get into everything!The hole under the couch lining, underneath the recliner.
But anyway, the weather has been good here, it's been sunny but not so warm today, last weekend was beautiful and hot. But the weather changes so dramatically and so quickly, It's nearly impossible to tell what each day will be like. Which i hate. I love the heat!
