Ferret Pictures!

[timmystood]

Hello all! It's been a while since i've posted pictures of any of our ferrets on here but after talking to Erised, I thought it was time I shared the cutest pictures of my ferrets with the world!!

This is Amy, she is my greatest companion and shares my bedroom with me (and the fish). Anyway ferrets are the only mammels that can't sweat so have no way of cooling themselves down. For this reason, in hot weather, they can enter a state known in the ferret world as 'sleeping-not-dead syndrome' which is basically a coma-like state where even experienced ferret keepers like me can be alarmed when I go and find a limp, lifeless ferret in it's cage. They slow their breathing right down and honestly act dead.... it does provide a great time for photo's though!! The ferret is in no pain or harm and if I cool them down they come out of the state, look at you and say 'why you wake me!' - They are great!!

Anyway, I got these pictures below when my baby, called Amy, has a case of sleeping-not-dead this summer!! She's a sweety!

Please support my ferret rescue here

Also, here's some of her and Ellie, my other great friend

And here's one of Ellie by herself

Aww Tim! They're absolutely gorgeous! I still think you're mean for messing with her when she's asleep like that though They're gorgeous none the less =) I especially like Ellies colours, though I bet that outside she gets dirty quite quickly being so light in colour.

Aaaw, they are absolutely gorgeous. I love the way Amy sleeps, she looks dead to the world, even though it looks uncomfortable. They are amazing. I really wish we could have some, but with three kids, and numerous fish tanks I don't think I'd have the time for them. They look like they needs loads of company and stimulation. Maybe once the kids are a lot older and I have more time on my hands .

Great pics, they are both gorgeous little girls.

Thanks!! It's not mean... she's doesn't know what's going on!! LOL! She does get quite dirty because ferrets love to dig! However, it gives me an excuse to bath them which is very funny and entertaining to watch!!

They make great pets. They need about 1-2 hours of attention a day, more if you can give it They make great pets Definatley look at getting them when you have the time

Oh yeah all our rescue ferrets love a little fish-theropy! One of the ferrets we have (Jake) loves to watch my Puffer fish when it's feeding time, he gets fascinated by it!

Great pictures!
