Theo is bug free and he seems to be a happy boy. He has done well with making further progress on the biting front. He still forgets sometimes but we are making progress. Even better - he is making progress with the hubs - they have shared some more quiet time with no biting involved which is good. His markings continue to darken - I can't wait to see how his coloring looks when his changes are all said and done.
Violet has been very active as of late. She has been playing with her siblings and investigating what the humans are doing. She is being quite patient with being picked up and loved on. All in all she seems happy and grow more beautiful each day as her markings continue to evolve.
Finnegan seems to be doing great after his day of tummy upset. He is active and sweet and he so loves Theo and the ability to rough house with someone. He is my handsome boy. I wish he wasn't quite so much the fraidy ferret - not sure what exactly he is afraid of but it doesn't take much to spook him.
Madison is doing just great - she is happy and active and oh so affectionate. She decided that taking up residence under the sink was her new sleeping spot. That was short lived as I didn't want her in there among the cleaning supplies. She has moved back into the blue piece of felt in Nigel's room for snoozing since her eviction.
Clooney...he is so good - I am really happy with how things are going with him. He is spending tons of time with the humans - sleeping where we are at night and during the day. His appetite seems good - he still loves those sticks and ferretone as his treat each morning. He is willing to interact with his ferret siblings more and more - but every so often he pulls his bully routine. I have read that this is fairly common for older male ferrets. He is just a grumpy old dude....love him.
As for the ECE threat - we have had Theo for more than four weeks now - can you believe that? In some ways it seems like he has been here forever and in some ways it seems like he just came home with us a week ago. The good news is that if you make it past 30 days you are usually okay. Clooney got ECE from Maddie at 21 days - but they had limited contact because Clooney was pretty anti social. The little ones have been together non stop so I am guessing we are most likely in the clear...woohoo!
I haven't said this in awhile - but I cannot imagine my days without these guys (and the kitties, pup and hedgehog as well). Each one is so different and their personalities bring so much to our little menagerie. I am truly so lucky to have them....
