Polar Fleece Wars

The last few nights Zephyr has been digging out Chin Soon's precious polar fleece toys from the hiding place under the curio cabinet near the window in the living room. OK, the toys belong to all the ferrets but Chin Soon is convinced they are hers and hers alone and hoards them jealously. I sometimes make it worse by throwing them across the room, sending Chin Soon on a mad dash to collect the errant toy before Zephyr or Nyssa does. Chin Soon ended up relocating them from under one curio cabinet to the other to try and keep them from Zephy. She's really funny.

I think Nyssa is still alpha and still rules the roost despite everything. When someone tries to wrestle with Nyssa and she's not up for it she lets out a loud squeak to express her displeasure. Well... Chin Soon and Ella have started imitating Nyssa's squeak when wrestling. I've gone running only to see Nyssa sleeping comfortably and two other ferrets having a good time wrestling.

Nyssa started taking solid treats and kibble again :) She still mostly lives on gravy and I do think that's best for her. She's up to about 10 oz. a day and this evening I'll have to start mixing in the new batch. Nyssa now wolfs down the gravy so fast she makes Pertwee-like snuffling noises. She also gets very excited when she knows it's gravy time. It's good to see Nyssa enthusiastic and energetic about something again.
