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
