I adopted two lovely ladies this past weekend after finding them through a member (Mt Zion Chins) here, and it was the best decision I've ever made. I fell in love with them at first sight, and I am so happy to have them home with me. I'm really happy with my decision to adopt rather than buy. I love the feeling that I know they'll be with me forever, even if someone else couldn't keep them.
Right now, they're in the cage they came with, awaiting the goodies to fill their brand new Ferret Nation 182, but they seem happy enough to jump around and run on their old flying saucer, even if I think they look a bit cramped. I hung up a few hanging toys for them and gave them a little fiddle sticks bridge that I turned into a hut, which they love to sit on and hop off of. They also use it like a tunnel, but they don't stay inside long. Yesterday I cleaned out their cage for the first time and gave them their first dust bath, which they loved. They're starting to get more social already, and love to come check out my fingers when I'm cleaning up or changing their food and hay. The mosaic likes to bite my husband's fingers but hasn't even nibbled me once. She even let me give her scitches for a second or two yesterday. She also likes to sit at the front of the cage and watch hubby as he sits in his chair watching tv. Now I joke with him that she's plotting his death, lol. He's taking it personally, poor guy. The ebony is a tad less social, but gets really curious when she knows the cgae door is open. Today she came over to visit my hand when I put it inside.
I also have two dogs. One of which couldn't care less that we have new animals in the house. He's so laid back. My shih tzu is obsessed with them though. She loves to watch them and stands on her back legs to get a clser look. So cute!
Anyway... They came with names, but because I'm a tad of a control freak, I have renamed them. I'm a BIG Harry Potter fan, and they have Harry Potter themed names... not just HP themed... but female Death Eater names...poor babies... but I will shorten them for everyday use so as not to torture them too badly
Meet... Narcissa and Bellatrix aka: Cissy and Bella. (The pics aren't the greatest, but I didn't want to traumatize them for life with my camera... yet)
