How to Anger a Ferret in 5 Minutes or Less
Permalink  

This was a funny experience with my ferret Boris today, and I thought some of you might get a chuckle out of his story. Boris has had itchy skin on his tail and back, so I contacted a vet to find out what to do. Her reccommendations contributed to Boris' extreme irritation with me today. Here's what she told me to do:

1. Change his food to ferret pellets - Boris hates anything but fortune cookies and kitten kibble. He is NOT digging the new food.

2. Mix a skin and coat enhancing oil with the pellets daily - He wrinkled his nose at this. Literally.

3. No bathing for 2-4 weeks - This is the only slice of heaven he gets out of this deal. He loves feeling clean but HATES getting wet.

4. To deter itching and rubbing, have him wear a shirt - Boris now has a little red t-shirt on, and his deep and inconsolable annoyance is written all over his little face. He's glowering at me. I can see we will be battling over the shirt thing.

Poor Boris!

laughing.gif You'd love that, wouldn't you? Hey, at least I picked a plain red t-shirt, and not a rhinestone shirt or holiday sweater.

Yeah, believe it or not they do. They come in small, medium or large, based on their weight. Boris is a large, Sasha is a small. Go fig.

Ferret Philosophy:

1. Hoarding is a form of art.
2. Life is short. Take what you can as quickly as possible.
3. If you get caught stealing, divert attention and dance a jig.
4. It's PERSISTENCE that's a virtue.
5. If at frist you don't succeed, try and try and try and try and...
6. Never push what you can drag.
7. Never walk around what you can squeeze through.
8. Let's play!
