Title: An unusual duo....
Post by: JackSpratt on January 23, 2011, 16:25:12 PM: Had to share these photos from RACR. Tigger is in the Cats needing homes section; and as it happens, so is Nipper! These two are best friends and because of that the rescue want to find them a home together. They're massively bonded and enjoy nothing more than interactive play.

Post by: JackSpratt on January 23, 2011, 20:50:31 PM: Had a business of three - Mally, Zorro and Odin. All three were rescues and were wonderful creatures. I miss sharing our home with ferrets and will again one day. :)

Post by: Owned_By_Napkin on January 23, 2011, 21:04:26 PM: Awwwwwwww! I had a ferret for several years... he was a sweetheart but required CONSTANT watching. It was like having a toddler! :) However, he wasn't really malicious or anything, just VERY CURIOUS! If someone's looking for a play companion a ferret is your animal!

Post by: JackSpratt on January 23, 2011, 21:36:02 PM: They are definitely interactive. (When they're awake that is..... :evillaugh:) That's why I had three; they thrive in groups and the male was a vasectomised hob so he brought the girls out of season.

I think it's great that Tigger and Nipper are so close. :)

Those two even look like they are related ;D
Title: Re: An unusual duo....
Post by: JackSpratt on January 24, 2011, 23:10:36 PM: She does indeed. Lilly is from RACR....Nipper is a bit of an exception to the rule, because most ferrets love having other ferrets to keep them company but this little one clearly thinks she's a feline instead!

Post by: Sabrina (Auferstehen) on January 25, 2011, 12:09:07 PM: Awww, I wish my husband would allow me to have a ferret again! Penguin loved playing with them (and used to throw one of my ferrets into the air)

Fingers crossed these two find a home together!

Post by: JackSpratt on February 07, 2011, 15:57:38 PM: 7/2/11: Nipper has been to vets today to have her eye checked as it was slightly cloudy. It seems it is a traumatic cateract and the lens slightly moves but doesnt cause her any problems at all. Possibly due to a bang running and playing or a scratch to the eye.

Roughhousing takes its toll....on the ferret!

Post by: cazzer on February 07, 2011, 16:21:17 PM: hope she recovers and that they get a home together soon

Post by: JackSpratt on February 11, 2011, 11:55:17 AM: Nipper went to her new home yesterday. She'll be living with another cat she knows so won't be lonely. (Nipper won't bond with other ferrets, but seems more than happy round felines. ;))

Tigger Roo is unbelievably, still looking!
