I recently discovered Getoutoftherecat and thought this would be great for ferrets. Ferrets are michevious, determined, and small. They can and will get into unwanted places and get into unwanted things. If you have a picture of a ferret doing something unwanted but cute submit the picture. Only the pictures tagged with mine are my ferrets, the others are found via the web or submissions. I post pictures that make you say What are you doing?
All my boys have name stories!
Fizzgig - ever since I discovered ferrets as a kid I wanted to name my first Fizzgig after the flaily little creature from The dark Crystal. Fizzy was my first, 23 years later - he got bestowed the name.
Scrat - we couldn’t name him at first, then he started hording things.. then we realised it was one specific toy and he would go to great lengths to try and find it each time. Much like Skrat from Ice Age. The name stuck, although with a typo.
Rolo - Rolo was a rescue ferret and had a lot of psychological issues. Originally called “Blaze” he was kept in a group of un neutered hobs, all with horrific physical injuries caused by fighting - he was the only one we were able to rehome from there (the others went to a rescue). When we got him home he had a lot of problems, he’d never been handled, had never played and was very viscous - it took over a month to introduce him to Fizzgig and Scrat after he was neutered and nearly 3 months until he was comfortable being held. He used to pace a lot and spent most of his time rolling around the bottom of the cage to begin with - a friend of ours started calling him our “Roly Poly Ferret” which got shortened to “Rolo”. The name stuck though and now I call him “My Only Rolo” - you wouldn’t give anyone your last Rolo so why on earth would you consider giving away your only one?
Nico - Ah. Nico. Nico took 4 days to name, we got him while a friend was visiting (who was our transport for picking him up) and said friend happened to bring his copy of Grand Theft Auto 4 with him. My housemate was keen on the game and it was pretty much a daily play on our TV - In the game you play a character called “Niko Bellic” who is constantly getting phonecalls from his cousin, Roman with “hey Niko you wanna go bowling?” “hey Niko you wanna go meet some ladies?” etc and a big focus of his Romans was taking Niko to “see ladies with the biiiiiig titties” (apologies for that!). Nico was obsessed with hiding inside my shirt within a day of us getting him. I’m a lady. Yeah. My ferret is named after a guy who gets pressured to look at boobs.
Could not find one of the sleeping ferrets for longest time…until I noticed something on the couch…
What are you doing, Yoshi??
Trying to get into my water bottle and he doesn’t even like water in his face.
What are you doing, Odin?
What are you doing?
Higgins likes to steal my razor from the shower and hide it underneath a large pile of stuffed animals. As soon as I place it back where it belongs, he grabs it again. Silly boy!
This is Alo in her little shipping box hide hole :3
