Just picked up these 2 crackers today, they're my first Ferrets. Met some people from a local group that rescue them at the weekend. As we've got some spare hutch space i quite fancied keeping something different. We already keep 2x Velveteen Rabbits(My daughters) a Nederland Dwarf Rabbit, red Female Abyssinian Guinea Pig and 2x short haired male Guinea Pigs (all the kids).
These are brothers coming up to 12months old. They were rescued early April after being found by the RSPCA in very poor shape, so bad they were considering putting them down.
Pics aren't great but i'm letting them settle before handling them and taking anymore:
The albino is a bit camera shy so mainly pics of the silver.
I'm really pleased with them and early signs are that they are settling in well.
They suffer a bit of a reputation for being dirty/smelly but are no dirtier than rabbits/guinea pigs etc
Not sure if i'm going to work them just yet but may look at it in the future. Got loads to learn about them so any advice welcome.
Cheers
Matt
