Syntax, The Ferret.

Just recently I recieved a ferret from my cousins, cousin.  She was off to college and needed someone to take care of him.  So very happily I decided to take him :)  I feel lucky, and am very glade that my cousins was thinking about me as someone to take him in :)  Im also am very fortunate and glade the last owners, trusted him with me.  He is seriously so lovable!  At the start of it, I was not sure how much I was going to like a ferret, I am so used to rats and have dedicated so much time to them.  I have thought about getting a ferret, but its never been a priority and nothing I really looked into that much.  Me being the animal nerd I am, I already knew alot about ferrets, but its one thing to read about them from actually associating with them.  One thing that took me awhile to get used to is energy level,  The first week in free mode he was so excited about all the new things, and was just so full of life.  One thing that he did help with was letting me know where all my holes in the kitchen was, I finally now have them covered but he still trys his hardest to get in :)  soon his curiousity died, he had seen everything and had spent good enough time downstairs.  He is always wild though, but I love it :)  he loves to play under the rug and for awhile cassie and him had a good game of hid and seek going.  He loves shoes, I got him a bunch of old ones just for him to tear the inside up(or the little damage he actually does)  I finally got him to the point where he plays for a couple hours and then will come up and cuddle with me on the couch and sleep, its very cute.  Speaking of cute, the cutest thing that he is up to lately is, when we go to the park he will follow me up the playground, then after I go down the slide he will follow :)  I recently dug up a tunnel for him underground thats not very big but he loves being able to go in it.  Found out, he is not the biggest fan of water when I gave him a bath, but im working on it, hopefully he will get used to having a bath once a month.  Anways ill keep posted on him later, im really glade I am taking care of him and am in love with him!!
