Meet Lynn and Sue

[twiggy2]

Not the best photo but these little ladies arrived a few weeks ago, Lynn is the lighter coloured one

 

[ycbm]

Gorgeous. I love ferrets, will you hunt with them, being as you farm?
.

 

[millikins]

They are very cute We had a ferret a few years back, he was a delightful though high maintenance pet but sadly was PTS at 6 with lymphoma which I gather is quite common in ferrets.

 

[twiggy2]

ycbm yes we plan to use them for rabbits, I do love ferrets they are such characters, like kittens who never grow up.

 

[stangs]

They're lovely, and those are brilliant names for ferrets too.

Yes sadly it does seem common in my experience, I took on 2 from a petting farm years ago who had been allowed to get jn a terrible mess with the lumps they had, cost me a small fortune but they were such lovely characters.

Sue got her name as she was a bit bitey when she arrived, hence Savage Sue, Lynn just went quite nicely with Sue, I don't usually use human names for animals but those names have stuck.

 

[twiggy2]

I have a video but don't know how to share it on here, can anyone help?

Oh they are gorgeous Twiggy . I love ferrets. My neighbour in Cornwall kept them and i'd often pop round to give them a cuddle.
They were a bit stinky tho and I was never sure if it was because he was a bit slack in the cage cleaning, or that they are just a bit wiffy anyway ( not an expert, as you can tell !)

The can be a little smelly as they are mustelids but the cleaner you keep them the less they smell and the girls are not as whiff as the boys.
We use cat little and corner litter tray for ours.

 

[Rumtytum]

Lovely girls and I love their names ?

 

[fankino04]

They are lovely, I always wanted ferrets when I was a kid.

 

[Baywonder]

Oh they are so adorable! ?

 

[twiggy2]

We have new additions, Sue escaped when wind moved the whole enclosure and was found drowned, so dissapointed to have lost one especially like that, either way though ferrets really need company of their own kind and also to help them keep warm over the winter. The new additions are both nameless currently so any suggestions are welcome.
The top photo is Lynn and the others are the 2 new girls.

 

[Barton Bounty]

I love ferrets, my husband uses to have them before we met, and when the boys came with ferrets to get the rabbits, I always loved a wee cuddle ?


Rita and Vera ?

 

[splashgirl45]

Smokey and lily

 

[Rumtytum]

Really sorry about Sue….
Sophy and Brenda for the new girls, whatever you choose they are gorgeous ?

 

[stangs]

So sorry to hear about Sue. It must have been awful for you.

The new two look lovely; I love that little face in second photo. Susie and Gladys maybe?

 

[Blanche]

Phylis and Dylis.

ETA Sorry to hear about Sue.

I hate to loose them with things like that, totally cause by human error and underestimating the force or mother nature. I can't happen again though.

 

[millikins]

Sorry you lost Sue. My contribution is Fran and Carly.

 

[twiggy2]

Thanks for all the suggestions, we have gone with the names Rita and Vera for the new additions, Vera is the darker one, Rita has the pink nose and Lynn has the big eyes and a darker tail.
Lynn is much less nippy than the other 2 and they nip if they are thinking meat rather than biscuits are on offer, hopefully this will settle and at least its not an aggressive bite but a nip.
