Wordless Wednesday: Do ferrets actually sleep like that?

Ok so this isn’t exactly Wordless. Can you believe there are actually four ferrets in this hammock? Where’s the fourth? Why he is buried under his brothers and sister. They seem to enjoy sleeping in big furry piles. I always get a kick out of some of the positions I find them sleeping. It looks uncomfortable, but it doesn’t seem to bother them. Ferrets have flexible spines, just like a cat.

I took this picture yesterday with my Nikon D80. The one who has his paws tucked up close to his body and has his nose pointing to the floor is my ferret, Ganesh. Isn’t he sweet? The albino is Indra, and Kali is on the far left. The fourth ferret, Hanuman who happens to be my biggest at almost five pounds is buried under his brothers and sister.

My ferrets roam upstairs when I’m available when I’m not I keep them in their home. I’m not comfortable letting them have free way when I’m away from the home. They get into too much, lol. I did purchase them a Midwest Ferret Nation. It’s three stories, this picture was taken on the first level. It’s a lot taller than I. I’m 5′.

I really should create a ferrets sleeping series. :-) More pictures can be found at their own private home, ferrets haven.

Kali and Hanuman

I took my ferrets swimming today. I think this was the first time my youngest Kali and Hanuman actually have been swimming in a “swimming pool.” They loved it! in the picture Hanuman (silver mitt) is getting ready to take the plunge. Again!

Mentoring Update ~ Ganesh was a hit!

Ganesh

Ganesh sleeping after visiting my mentees

What can I say my lovable Ganesh won the hearts of my mentee’s. Can you believe that they were squabbling over who got to hold him? He was the perfect ferret to bring along. He didn’t complain at all! In fact, I think he loved all the extra attention. I wrote a three page report about ferrets. The girls were shocked that I wrote it. I told them I know a lot about these animals. I even had a chance to talk to them about Westernized ferrets vs. European ferrets. The ferrets fed a westernized diet face more diseases than their European cousins. Many believe it’s related to what they are fed. The Europeans mainly feed a whole prey diet and Westerners rely on kibble. I feed my ferrets raw whole prey.
