Ferrets are somehow all spine and no spine simultaneously.

I know right?

They're spine because Arch! but also no spine in that it can bend 180 degrees and still be comfortable enough for the ferret to sleep

As someone who both has ADHD and ferrets, ferrets are basically ADHD incarnate in that they have no attention span at all except when they DO and hyperfocus on something that is the last thing you want them to focus on, like trying to crawl into a blender for five hours straight even after you've put that blender on top of the fridge so they can't reach it but by god they will get into that blender if it's the last thing they do!

My family used to have ferrets for years. We had albino and a few polecats. One was a sandy colour. Most were jills.

Most of ours are jills. My mother always had female animals as a kid so my family has always had female animals. One day when we were going to pick up a pair of sisters, it turned out the breeder's son wanted to keep one of the last females, leaving only one girl and her brothers. My mother was very upset, but I picked out a boy to go with the girl and we took them both home.

Our next boy looked like a cuddly fur seal, but he didn't get along with other boys so the rescue said to keep him only with girls.

Well, now it's habit - my mother always keeps a business of girls plus one boy per cage. We did have a pair of male twins (actual twins within the litter - they shared an amniotic sac) but one of them passed away very quickly and the other had a stroke and became disabled before we could get him introduced to another business, so we kept him on his own. Lived for fifteen months with heart failure and twelve with what was basically paraplegia! I miss him.

Having a free range ferret is like playing “the floor is lava”, only instead of “the floor is lava” it’s “the floor is an ancient, fragile temple floor that you could fall through at any moment with a crack, and the crack moves, and if you step on the crack it will start crying and make you feel like the worst person ever, also the crack is fluffy and has teeth”

Sad fact about the ferrets we’re getting on Sunday:

They are a mum and her two daughters

She got to the rescue with three daughters, but one got adopted out a few days before I called

:( :( :(((((

#I'm gonna tell him #that if they return her #he calls us ASAP #and we'll take her #it's sad that she's been adopted out without her family :( :( :((((#ferrets #mustelids stole my mustard lids #Dusty talks

Forgot to put my ferret to bed before sleep so woke up in the dead of night to something moving around under my bed.

One of our ferrets, Lola, has two settings:

Murder

Screaming

Funny how animals try to communicate concern for loved ones. Ferrets especially, and especially siblings. My family’s owned well over a dozen ferrets by now, and this is the second time we’ve had a ferret start misbehaving just before their sibling died, only to suddenly go back to normal after.

Towards the end of Cuddle Pie’s life, Snuggle Pot started escaping their cage every night and waiting on the doorstep for my mother every morning. Not long after, Cuddle Pie got really sick, we found out she had a tumour, and so she was put to sleep. Snuggle Pot never escaped the cage again.

A few days ago Tallie had his operation, and suddenly his brother, Frankie, started biting Mum. They’re two lovely boys, they’ve never bitten me at all, but Frankie just suddenly hated being held and bit Mum whenever she picked him up.

Then Tallie went downhill really quickly, we took him up to the vet’s and he passed away tonight. We thought it was the operation, but it turned out to have been infected bladder stones -- they were there for weeks, but the operation messed with his immune system enough that it triggered the infection to get the upper hand.

Mum and I were just playing with Frankie. We held him, cuddled him, tickled his tum.

He didn’t bite us once.

#ferrets #mustelids stole my mustard lids #Dusty talks #tbd maybe #ferrets know when their sibling is sick #they just know #and they don't know how to tell us so they just get agitated #it's kind of chilling #beautiful #but chilling #think after this I'm always going to keep an eye on how brothers and sisters behave #if one starts acting up #take the other to the vet

I wanna get some plants for my room but the plants that’d be most suitable are poisonous to cats and dogs and presumably would be to ferrets

and ferrets have this thing where if something can kill them they will definitely try to eat it

and like

I believe in evolution, I mean that shit’s been proven and crap but like

I’m not sure sometimes if it really is real because ferrets.

like

if evolution was real

how the fuck are ferrets not extinct they have no self preservation instincts whatsoever they have like the OPPOSITE of self preservation instincts they like try to commit suicide before they’re a year old multiple times what the fuck

#(yes that's a joke I know ferrets don't disprove evolution)#ferrets #mustelids stole my mustard lids #dusty talks #suicide cw in a joking context bc ferrets
