Ella In Charge, Nyssa Bounces Back Yet Again

Nyssa has done well for three days running now which is just fantastic as far as I am concerned. On Thursday evening she ran and played for about 45 minutes. She managed three shorter runs totaling an hour or so Friday night. That run included a wrestling match with Ella. I never see those two go at it, at least not recently. Last night Nyssa didn't run as long but she did relocate her doggie and play. This morning I found her up in a hammock which means she is climbing again.

The other ferrets reacted by being extra playful on Thursday and Friday nights. If Nyssa feels up to playing with them they seem to be quite happy about it. A series of wrestling matches determined what I expected to happen eventually: Ella, my seemingly gentle sweetheart, is now top of the pecking order. Nyssa actually yielded to her, something she has never done with the others, and did so without screaming or becoming upset. Ella had no problem getting Zephyr and Chin Soon to yield as well after much chatter and tussle. Actually Ella was quiet. Chin Soon and Zephyr vocalized their displeasure at how things were going.

Hopefully over the next couple of days I can take some new pictures and post them.
