my faith in ferrets restored


Recommended Posts

got home from work tonight, fed the kittens, and picked up my .22 to go pop off a couple of rats from my back hedge. i walked round the back of my bathroom, and my heart stopped. the doors of the hutches my 2 jills live in were wide open :icon_eek:

naturally, i panicked a little (a lot). both the jills came to me as strays last year, neither of them strangers to roughing it. one of the boys i've had from 12 weeks got out while i was on holiday last year, and it took 4 days to find him. i instantly thought "shit. i'll never see them again!" i shone my torch around, and saw nothing. no noises. then i looked in the bottom hutch...

and there they were, both curled up asleep :)

oh, the relief! was i glad to see those little fuzzies! they've been seperated for the last week or so while i've been waiting for the kits to appear (no joy, and one of them is back in season :no: ). seems they couldn't bear to be parted for another day :wub:

tomorrow i'm heading down the hardware shop, and buying new locks for their hutches!!

 

i really thought they'd gone for good... they always surprise you, don't they?

Isnt love is a wonderfull thing :wub: And what a lovely relief for you :yes:

Horis is apart from his girls so he wont eat his babes :sick: but a couple of times per week a take him in the run to say hello and keep the bond, they are all over him making lovely little noises, cleaning his ears, and generally making a fuss of him. Breaks my heart when i have to take him out again :(

MOLL.
