Ferrets or Children?

My babies I never told you about!

So I've had this little guy for about 2 years and I'm not even sure why I never thought to post about this. His Name is Fisk. Ironically he's named after a cat. When I first got him I had planned on naming him Danko but things changed when I saw him. He just looked like a Fisk to me. He's a marshall farm's Ferret that I got from Petco. He's a sweet guy and I only just realized this when he started to calm down a bit. He was a handful when he was little but now he's the sweetest little thing.

Why a Ferret?
Well, honestly I'm a big dork and I always thought they were really cool and uncommon. Plus, once upon a time I had a crush that had ferrets and I've wanted one ever since.

What happened to my Dog Pepé?
Well....Long story. First off, He wasn't really my dog. He was my older brother's dog but it turns out that big bro didn't have enough time for him anymore. Sad isn't it? Well, I moved out shortly after I got these guys and my mother kept Pepe. Then he ran away. He's not dead or anything. We actually are 99.9 percent sure a person in the neighborhood took him in. Well there you have it.

Don't they stink?
Well, as a matter of fact they kind of do. Like most animals if you take care of them properly they do not smell. With ferrets you have to go the extra mile. This includes: Cleaning the cage daily,air freshener, bathes, and there is even this stuff you can put in their drinking water so that their poop isn't smelly. You have to make sure you take care of them like an OCD person in order for there to be no odor. I'm not perfect at this but after so long(and many years of smoking) i hardly notice a smell at all.

Fisk is not the only one I have. I also have an Albino named Spike(who was originally going to be something else). Five guesses who he's named after! He's only about 6 months old but he's already bigger than Fisk! This was super crazy considering he was the last one at Petco at the time cause he was so tiny. I have relatively tiny hands and he could fit in one hand! He was a runt and I was sort of worried about him surviving but he grew. Man did he ever! He is actually more aggressive than Fisk and he's been that way since he was super tiny. I hear that's very common in Albino animals.

Spike napping away!
Both of my Ferrets are like my children. I love them equally and I take a lot of bullshit about them.


Both Fisk and Spike get along very well. They are almost like brothers even though they are not. They have little fights every now and then but usually they fix it themselves.


One of the funniest things however is to see how their personalities differ. Fisk only likes to eat from his bowl if he has a choice and Spike absolutely does not.
LOLZ! Spike has a habit of digging in the food bowl and then eating the food that lands on the platform. Fisk however is very neat. He will pick up each and every piece of ferret food and place it in the bowl before eating. You can only imagine the hilarity that ensues!


Well once again that's pretty much it. Just thought I would show you my boys! Until next time!
