I wonder if smaller animals with faster heartbeats and shorter lifespans perceive time as moving a LOT slower than we do. Like, a minute too is much longer to them.

Said because my ferrets are always super impatient and they climb up my jeans as I get their food ready and by the time I set it down they’ve already gotten sick of waiting and have left lol

ID: video of a white ferret eating raw soup out of a red bowl, sitting almost like a person would. He stops often to lick his lips. Sounds: slurping.

Happy National Ferret Day from my very sleepy business!

ID: four photos, each with a different ferret sleeping. In the first, a white ferret is curled into a ball with one arm outstretched in the "swan pose." In the second picture, a roan ferret sleeps on his back half inside a light blue blanket. The third has a sable ferret curled into another ball, and the last has the upper body of a white ferret poking out of a light blue blanket, arms resting on top the blanket. End ID

nothing to see here, move along…

ID: a picture of three ferrets playing. Two are on the carpet: a sable, Mortimer, has the albino ferret, Sir Sumo, loosely by the neck. Sir Sumo tries to roll around and bite him. Above them, Figgilio, a dark-eyed white ferret, looks down over the scene from an open drawer. End ID

Figgilio being the little kitten that he is…

ID: a video of a small white ferret in a carpeted hallway with three tunnels on the right side. He is playing with a purple, black, blue, and white feather duster held by the person taking the video. End ID

The only fool-proof way that I’ve discovered to keep ferrets from digging in the litter box is to make a separate dig box! Sir Sumo and Figgilio are in love with this thing (thank god).

[ID: two white ferrets play in a clear plastic tub filled a quarter of the way full with rice. There are multicolored balls in different sizes among the rice. The bin itself has three circular openings, one on each side except for the one that faces the wall behind it. The ferrets hop and pounce on each other inside. Sound: bells jingling, claws scratching against plastic, dry rice grains being flung against the sides of the tub. End ID]

They're adapting to their new home! :' )

Well, it turned out that the names Boba and Chai didn't quite suit these two, so we had to switch things up. The ferret in the first picture (the albino) is now named Sir Sumo, after his impressive wrestling skills and dignified bearing, and the one in the second picture (the dark-eyed white) is named Figgilio. ❤️‍

ID: two photos of white ferrets. In the first one, the ferret is curled up asleep in someone's lap. The lighting is dim and the person is wearing black pajamas. In the second photo, there is an old basket originally for holding wood that's now filled with rolled-up rugs. On the other side of this basket, a tiny white ferret looks at the camera, his two front paws on the rugs. End ID.
