No surprises here, really - Milo, who'd been a lone ferret for 2 years, passed away in his sleep this weekend. I was pretty certain he was 2 when I got him and that was back in 2011 ( Read more... )

Okay, what's been going on since my last post way back in September? Well, the weasel is still alive, though I swear he gets scrawnier every time I look at him - still, as long as his quality of life is okay, I'm not going to complain ( Read more... )

I'm now a couple of weeks into the routine of the academic year, so I'm getting used to regular times and days once again. Two of my classes are nearly full, which is excellent, while the other is struggling a bit so it's not currently clear if that will continue or not - half-term is the date for a decision on that, so we'll see what happens.

I was asked by the guys who found the second one if they would stick together or come if I called and neither apply. No, ferrets are pretty dumb in many ways so the other one could be anywhere. Anyway the missing posters are still up in the area, I've spoken ( Read more... )

Just got a call from folks about 12 houses up the road from me, so now I have one back and one still missing - the missing one is the more timid of the two but hopefully easier to spot, being one of the albinos.

Thanks for the good wishes so far, please keep them coming!

Woken up this morning by the lady who lives next door but one, with one of my ferrets. Damn it all. The little buggers escaped last night and have been on the lam since then - two are still missing at the time of writing ( Read more... )
