You know it's getting colder when you slide the underbed storage box out, & find 6 out of the 7 ferrets all cuddled up there.

Back in 2012 we picked up this pipe to go around the ferret court. At the time we had rescued some kits, plus other members of their family, so had 13 albinos. It was absolute bliss! Here are some of them inspecting our haul in the back garden, before it made it to the court. Beany heaven.
7 albino ferrets huddled around the end of a roll of 4inch, 10cm, underground drainage pipe. They all seem to be daring each other to be the first in.Another picture of them, this time with a polecat coloured ferret joining in.We now have albino ferrets at both ends of the tube waiting for the ones that are in it to come out.

Our neighbours are working on their roof, & Waffle is not sure they should be, she has now decided to keep guard at the back door, just in case they get any ideas of jumping the fence.

When our 'coven' of female ferrets decide they would like to have a cuddle, they cast a spell on me, making it impossible for me to use my legs to get up. Waffle has just climbed off, but Swizzels & Crunch are in for the long haul. Oh, the hard life of living with so many tiny witches.🥰😄🐾

If you have ever wondered about cleaning the chimney of your chiminea, it's easy, put in an Albino ferret, & when the jobs done, it should come out polecat coloured. 😉😄🐾

When you have reached the top of the ladder to success, there's only one way left to go. Not that Munchie seems to mind.

I have done my back in, & pulled a couple of muscles fighting with the Jeep over the last 5 days. The pain kept me awake most of last night, so had to take a "me" day as I can barely move. Swizzels can see no problem with this. 🥰🐾

We got back from a long weekend away in the caravan, went to go out a couple of days later & the Jeep went into limp mode. It needs amongst other things, this sensor changed. It's taken me 3 days as it was so tight, & in such a tight space, I had to make 3 special tools to enable me get it out

Just had this video pop up as a reminder of "on this day". I love how wholesome it is, Swizzels as a kit, very over excited, helping Suzanne cut up ferret treats. We buy these knotted Chicken & Duck chews from B&M, un-knot them, then cut them into small bits for the ferrets, who love them.

I decided to look at the Hot Wheels cars while he talked to Suz. We collect model cars that have our ferrets names on them, but some can be pretty hard to find, so imagine my surprise to find a 2002 Crunch car. He was enjoying his cuddle with Crunch so much, he sold it to us at half price.

We were at the Bedfordshire Steam & Country Fayre this weekend, & as normal we took our ferrets with us, & took a couple out for a walk each time we ventured out. We popped onto one of the trade stands while walking Crunch & the man running it was instantly in love with her, & needed a cuddle.
Crunch is very free with her kisses, this is Suz getting kisses, whether she needs them or not, to be fair when does anyone not need ferret kisses.

... but never hard enough to draw blood. We put her in with our kit, "Galaxy the Git" (he was my first nemesis, kisses for Suz, all mouth with me). They instantly started playing, like they had known each other forever, so we kept her in exchange for 2 of the hammocks I make.

On this day in 2011, we were at a ferret show run by our local rescue. A young girl turned up with a tiny carrier, she wouldn't open, as the ferret inside bites. Long story, short, we took out a 12week old kit who was just so over excited to have some interaction, she was a little bit mouthy...

You would love Bournville, sadly at Rainbow Bridge, he was pure EU Polecat & shiny black, with just white nose & ear tips. We also have Skittles, another pure Polecat, & Waffle, 1st generation EU polecat cross. Bournville & Skittles were rescues. Waffle, we got specifically as a friend for Swizzels.

Last Friday night Rhubarb decided it was time to close the current era of daft, bouncy, loving, albino boys, for now. He sat cuddled up in my arms, & took one last breath, succumbing to the Lymphoma, & went off to meet up with his brother, Custard, at the bridge.

We have always had albino ferret hobs since getting our very first ferrets, most arriving with at least 1 sibling, sometimes more. Every one has had a big personality, & is remembered fondly. Somehow they are always a hit with the ladies as well.

He loved going for walks, & I really enjoyed walking him, as every so often he would climb up, roll over in my arms, & do the full face rub thing, then lean up & give me a kiss, before getting back down to carry on with the current adventure.

...or returning them to the living room. They have a tube they like to sleep in, out in the garden, which we often have to up-end to wake them up come bed time. Often we would get bombarded with tennis balls he had also stashed in there.

...so that when I opened it to get the ferrets for bed, they would all fall out on me, I think giving him early warning & time to find somewhere to hide. When they were out in the garden, we would see him running in through the French windows, either taking his tennis balls out into the garden...

I always thought that one day, it would shatter the glass of the display cabinet at the bottom of the stairs, but luckily it didn't. Out in the ferret run, we have a TV cabinet for them to sleep in, he would always pile up 6 to 12 balls against the door...

...safe in the knowledge that he only had the one oversized tennis ball. Some times he would scoot it back the top of the stairs, roll it over the edge on purpose, & try to race it to the bottom, before taking it back out into his hiding spot in the run.

We would then lay there awake for the next ten minutes listening to him running down the stairs, & then the struggle as he tried again to bring it back up the stairs. Usually with several more Bump, Bump, Bumps, until eventually he would succeed, & we could go back to sleep...

He had a real fetish for tennis balls, & would spend hours moving them around from one place to another. We would wake up in the middle of the night, hearing a Bump, Bump, Bump on the stairs, only to realise that it was him dropping an oversize tennis ball, while trying to get it upstairs.

Some ferrets, when they depart to the rainbow bridge, make it feel like it's the end of an era. Rhubarb was one of those little guys. He was a 'full on' ferret that was usually up to trouble, but had no shame & would look you in the eye as he did it.
