March Month In Review

End of March already - it doesn't seem possible.  So first - Happy Easter!!

March was an exciting critter month as we doubled the ferret population in our little zoo with the addition of Finnegan and Violet.

We have had the babies for a week and a day and they seem to be settling in just fine.  Finnegan is the adventurer - he likes to go downstairs and check things out.  Violet is more reserved and afraid of the stairs.  Finn has a bit of trouble with them as well - going down sometimes like a slinky - head, butt, head butt.

They both seem quite healthy - full of energy, eating and playing.  Having them both makes the pretty low maintenance as they do entertain each other.  Madison seems to like the little one's and while she is still trying to establish dominance she does spend quite a bit of time each day playing with them.  A game of tag with Finn and wrestling on the bed with Violet are her favorites.  Clooney doesn't seem to have much interest in them and pretty much goes about his days in much the same ways he did before they showed up.

Emma had her 10th birthday in March - I so can't believe that - 10 years old.  Cripes.  She is doing great - going strong and causing trouble.  She likes the new babies and has taken it upon herself to be their guardian.

The kitties had a good month - only a few minor hairballs to report.  Other than that everyone seems pretty happy and healthy.  Zoey is still obsessed with the kitchen counters.  Oliver continues to cause trouble - he is an ornery one....  Aggie is doing great - hanging out with me alot and not too upset about the babies and Miss Phoebe seems to be fantastic - she is pretty tolerant of the ferrets so they do try to play with her at times.

Little Nigel has enjoyed several nights out of his cage running about our room.  I figure since I have the babies enclosed with the baby gate he may as well get some out and about time too.  He loves it.  He doesn't not seem to be particularly afraid of the babies which is nice.  They aren't quite sure of him - what he is and how to engage him so those interactions are kind of fun to watch.

All in all - March has been a great month - ready for consistently warmer weather - come on spring!!!  :)
