Ferret Games

I read online about a game that some have tried with their ferrets and thought I would give it a try.  Ferrets are cup tippers - if you read this blog there have been several posts about soda tipping - Clooney is a master tipper.  So - the game is played in the tub with a couple of inches of warm water to splash around in and several cups with different levels of water in them.

I got the babies in first.  Violet likes water way more than Finn and was cruising around the tub.  Finn wasn't quite sure what to think.  Then I went and got Madison and popped her in there - she was really not much of a fan.

Violet got the tipping part pretty quick and knocked over a few - the other two were sort of unimpressed with the whole idea - maybe not a game we will play again.  As always - the favorite part of anything that gets them wet is drying off - not sure why they love it but they do.  Drying them with a towel makes them super fluffy and super excited.

Clooney likes to play in the shower and he likes to tip cups but he doesn't like the baby ferrets so much so I opted him out for the first go around.  Maybe I will set up a round just for him in the next few days to see if he likes it....
