| A ferret is a ferret - that's what some people might have you believe. Although all ferrets exhibit certain ferrety traits, each ferret has its own personality.
All ferrets love to play, they run around, jump, chase, wrestle. They can't resist runing down tubes or digging holes and when they've worn themselves out, they will find a cosy spot to sleep soundly for hours. But what makes each individual ferret special? Read on and find out... |

GROUP 1 - HERSHEY, TSUKI AND MOJO This group is in the mid life of full bloom and as a group are well bonded and pretty chilled. Toe and bare skin safe. They like the good life, quality bedding, fine food, milk, milk and more milk. They're very personalable, and even Princess Tsuki has grown out of chowing down (although she will still give a very hard chomp if pushed!). So chilled, but they can still get their bounce on when needed. | |

TSUKI When we first got Tsuki she was a right little madam. A bossy jill who wants to get her own way, by using her teeth! and is intelligent to boot. She has a nasty streak and it took about a year before she stopped biting us - she's a lot calmer, but she acts like a little princess! I think she is a little nervous in character, possible either due to genetics or possibly the environment from where she was born. She took a lot taming and doesn't like any other ferrets outside her group. She's sister to Hershey and they get on very well together. Out of a few that we saw at the breeder, she played a little calmer, although bouncy she wasn't completely nuts. She loves to chase and run through tubes, trying to outrun and outsmart Hershey. At first she really wasn't people orientated but slowly she began taking more notice of us and coming for a little attention and treats. As she's grown into adulthood she has become easier to handle, but will still nip very hard if she doesn't want to be handled, she is a little more aloof and doesn't always want to play. Tony loves her lots and he especially wanted a silver ferret and they have a very special relationship - daddy's little girl. Tsuki lives with her brother, Hershey and Mojo. |

HERSHEY As soon as I was handed Hershey at the breeders, I wanted him. He was a big ball of soft fluff with a character to go with. I miss Bailey who was so cuddly, and I wanted another cuddly boy, which although he's big he isn't the cuddly sort. He grew enormous compared to our rescue ferrets in his first year, but has since slimmed down. There's not a mean bone in his body and all he wants is good food, see what's going on and to play. He's probably one of the most sensitive ferrets we've had. He's not the brightest ferret...all braun with little brain. But that's fine with me. Right from the start he likes people and will follow you around and want to be picked up...but only to see what's going on elsewhere. He's a lovely silver chocolate sable colour with dark little feet and pink toes. Which I know all sable ferrets have, but I think is really cute. As he's grown into adulthood, he too has calmed down to the point where he positively horizontal. I thought Tsuki and Hershey could do with a pick-me-up friend and so we found Mojo. Mojo has made a great playmate for Hershey and Tsuki and really got them out from their shells. |

MOJO He's a complete NUTTER! but completely adorable and loveable. All he wants to do is play, play, play and bounce and there's not a mean bone in his body. We got him to keep Tsuki and Hershey company and didn't know whether those two would accept another ferret as Tsuki is quite aggressive and Hershey is a softy. When we got Mojo he was only a few weeks old, but even at that young age he showed them that he was more than a match for their antics. Soon enough he started growing and over took them in bounce and weight - he showed them whose boss (him!) and they all live very happily together. He's can be a little too rough for Tsuki to play with but has been the ideal panacea for Hershey - they all get on so well. |
THE BEANIE GROUP A bunch of complete nutters...never have we ever, and I say, ever, had such a nutty group!!! We've never had three beanie boys together either..is that the common denominator? Dumb, dumb and dumber??!!! Mitsy is only half albino so you can get some sense from her. Manic, nutty, fast, inquisitive, won't settle, can't litter train the buggers, can't nip train the buggers but, they are incredibly adorable and fun. | |

OUR OTHER FERRETS Unfortunately, when we first started keeping ferrets, we had a baptism of fire regarding their health. They were all rescue ferrets so it's difficult to know what their life and care was like - in many of the cases below I know it was appalling, so at least we gave them a new home where they had a lot of love, fun and care. Apart from Merlin, despite their assorted health problems they all lived to 7-8 years old. WILLOW MERLIN TILBURY BAILEY CASPER BINGO | |
