Larkspur... oh you silly devil

Larkspur took it upon himself to sniff the bottom of my foot nad look at me with the most pathetic face like... 'HEY D: YOU DIDN'T TAKE ME TO THE PARK WITH ACTINITE, CLOVER AND SHAMROCK! D: '

He just had this pathetic look on his face XD

-giggles-

MILESTONE

This is Clover, I've mentioned her before. I've mentioned my biggest problem with her, I've mentioned my fear of her not eating and her poops not being solid. I've also mentioned how much I fell in love with her.

At around 8 am this morning my fiance woke me up and told me to listen and watch.
Clover and Thyme's cage is at the foot of my bed in exchange for the other's cage being at the foot of my fiance's bed. lol.

Anyway I sat up in bed and heard Crunch Crunch Crunch. I told him 'Awe it's just Thyme'

So I watched and up the steps came Clover, got some more food an ran back downstairs to eat it.


Even Thyme took it upon her to get some food and put it infront of clover herself. (Awe)
I am so glad to have them be as upbeat as they have been. Both their fecal matter has been more solid, even Clover's!
They took to the food change right away.
Finally Clover's eating! I mean it's not alot! But it's more than before. I used to have to force feed her. <3

I am so happy to have them.

<3

Jealousy is sooo cute ;D

I hate to say it, but jealousy is completely adorable with ferrets x3

I took Shamrock and one of our new babies Clover to the fleamarket the other day...
We had alot of fun, alot of bonding between Clover and I. It was a great day <3

Heck, Clover stole some of my icecream D:
I was like NOOOOOOOOOOO but it was so cute xD;
Got to see my rat's new owners and saw them too! xD

Anyway, back to the point of this post...

Actinite was acting very down, he wouldn't even play with Larkspur! D: His best buddy.
Needless to say I was worried, but I just let him sleep.

I finally had enough of this pouting at around 10 pm and picked him up, laid him in bed and curled up. He loves Clover, usually, so it was unusual for him to bottlebrush when my fiance tried to bring her to me aswell. He snuggled against me and hissed.
Musta laid there with him till 2 in the morning, he dooked the whole time.

I was frightened that he might have hated her, but they got along wonderfully the next day, I'd say it was just jealousy. If I take her somewhere again he'll come long, but I'm gonna set up a day where it's just me and him.

He's my baby, my momma's boy, my everything.

I know it's strange to say that about a ferret, but we just have something special, a bond that nobody can break or take away from us.
:3 I love making him jealous every now and then, because the moment we share afterwards is great.
<3

Larkspur has turned into a complete Momma's boy.
I was waiting for the icecream man, and had Larkspur came with me.
No leash no nothing.
Just sitting next to me and posing.

He never runs off and always stays very closeby.
Today, he stayed closer than usual, crawling up my arm and my legs and around my neck.

I'd get kisses after kisses and it just made me feel more wonderful by the minute! :D

Actinite has always been the momma's boy and I never really expected Larkspur to become such a ham.

He never left my side, we stayed out for an hour, just waiting.
He posed, he slept, he watched cars, but never left my side.

I can honestly say I'm very happy.

Another thing is my boys get along so well! O:

Shamrock decided it was hyper tiem
Everyone joined in!

iT WAS AMAZING watching them all bounce and play.

Hell even Larkspur has started with this new move where he stands on his hind legs and grabs in a huggy motion with his front legs.
SO CUTE

Happy FERRET OWNER IS HAPPY.

My babes are such a blessing.

I love them so much!

Rescues sometimes leads to friends

My favorite re-homing story is right here.




This here is Briar. He was a sweetheart, but very frightened of people.
We worked with him for weeks on end, getting him to eat, getting him litter trained and teaching him that not all humans were bad.
The day he left was very hard on me, because even tho he was a little terror, he was a sweetheart in the end.
Little did I know his new owner called a couple days after taking him home , I was so scared something went wrong. But she was inviting me to bring my fuzzies over for dinner.

We went over and have been going over ever since.

Briar was doing great and still is, he's gaining weight.
He's healthy
He's happy
and
He has two beautiful sisters named Misty and Bandit.
We've been going for over a month and have become very good friends with them.

This precious little girl is Bandit. She is a complete ham. She loves Larkspur more than anything. When we go over she won't leave him alone (lol)
She is a true beauty. Very playful and very loving.
She was bought around Christmas time for the family and was one of the reasons Briar found a new home. They were looking for a ferret to play with her, since their second female was more on the quiet side.

This beautiful ferret is not only the biggest cuddler ever, she's Actinite's little Girlfriend. Like Bandit to Larkspur she won't leave him alone. She loves him and has been starting to play alot.
She's my favorite of Briar's new little group. She's so good.
Misty is a little silver girl with a little bit of a crazy side.
She doesn't like to get dirty, so no dirt for her.
She's so prissy and so beautiful.
<3


I am so thankful to have these ferrets in my life.
I am so thankful to have their owners in my life.
I am so thankful that I run a rescue
If it wasn't for that I would never have met them. :)

<3

Happy Owner is Happy

---
The boys are going at it! They're bouncing, hissing and playing while I rearrange their cage (I do that often so they can have some differences every so often) x3

They're dooking and going nuts! FERRETS EVERYWHERE!
They've been playing non stop for a little over an hour o.o;
Quite the energy.
They're still going strong.
I made Actinite a new toy and he's hissing at everyone who gets close to it xD

I walked over, and this is the reason I'm so happy.

Finally, for the first time since her surgery (well over 6 months ago) Nightshade is playing with them. She's stealing Actinite's toy from under him, bouncing and making this really insane adorable face like ;D
I couldn't be happier.
She's my baby even though She and I have hard times together.
It fills my heart with such joy to see her going nuts with the boys and finally back to her old self. :3
It took her a long time to recover from loosing Rath and Ara.
But I think she's finally accepted the boys as her own and I'm loving it.

-----
Speaking of which I found some old pics of Rath and Ara on my harddrive.
So I thought I'd show you guys:


Ara enjoying some bubbles :3




The illustrious Rath at Night O:

Actinite

Actinite, my baby boy. My everything.
He was the first boy, after Rath, I truly loved.
I fell in love with him right away. I even remember just wanting to stay at the petstore to take picture after picture of him.
I watched him for a while and we went home.
For our two year anniversary my boyfriend brought home a brand new cage and Actinite along with it.
I couldn't believe it.
I held onto him and didn't let go.
I was so happy to have Actinite.

He was good since the first day!
He immediately went in the litterbox, he didn't tear anything up.
The part that was hard for him is he and Nightshade got along great and suddenly she was gone for 3 days, due to her sickness.
We packed up and were ready to move, then Larkspur came into our lives.
They got along great.
Actinite was wonderful during the move.
He still remains the best of the group.

I take him everywhere
He is so well behaved.

Best ferret ever <3333333

Coat change wise, he went from being a brownish silver, to just salt and pepper now. I love it. :3

Larkspur

Ah, Larkspur, a favorite in the ferret communities I'm part of on LJ.
He is a beautiful boy.
When we found homes for Rath and Ara I was quite upset. I didn't really want to get another ferret.
But I missed having 3.
Max took me to the petstore to look around, and I fell in love with a big boy. A pure black ferret, the biggest of the group. Very bouncy, very silly. Just something I felt Nightshade needed after her surgery. Maybe she'd bounce back.

I knew we couldn't get him just yet.
So we saved up and went over to fetch him, but he was gone.
Instead there was one who literally LEPT into my arms when they opened the cage.
He was chocolate in color, and very sweet, he greeted me with licks and plenty of lovings.
He had been transfered from several stores because no one wanted him.
My boyfriend was head over heels with him, but I wasn't that fond of him at first to tell you the truth.
Yet he was quite fond of me.

It took me about a month to truly fall in love with the ferret now named Larkspur. He became very well mannered. Not the trouble maker he was when we first got him.
I was starting to gain interest in taking pictures of ferrets at the time and he was so photogenic! He still is!
He went from a terrible ferret, who tore up the cage, who pooped in the wrong corner, who bit and drew blood to one of the best ones with the litterbox, one of the best ones with nip training and one of the best ones with his new toys.
Every time I acted frusterated with him, he would change his attitude completely for me.
I loved him so much when I saw these changes. I kid you not I did not train him. He just changed.

Then it was time for us to move.

He was so good during the move.

Let's fast forward to now.

he's quite the blessing. No accidents when he's around if he can help it.
One of the best ferrets I've ever owned. :)



((Also seeing the changes in his coat make me SO HAPPY :D))

Nightshade's story

-------------------

Nightshade was a gift from my friend Ahote. He bought her for me as a Christmas Gift. She was amazing.
She was bouncy dooky and amazing.
Then one day after we decided to move, everything changed.
She got deathly sick, we rushed her to the vet after noticing a change in her personality. She just wasn't herself, not eating not pooping, nothing.
Once we got in there the vet didn't even check her out when she said she may have to be put down.
I was amazed, upset and stunned.
We left her for several nights.
She amaingly recovered and even bit the nurse

lol

I mean that's not a nice thing to celebrate but that was her, ya know?

She's been a blessing with quite the attitude lol
