Boys Boys Boys

The male critters are doing great these days - causing chaos but doing great...

Clooney is my happy boy - he wants to hang out with his peeps so he follows us to whatever room we end up hanging out in or working from and then he finds a comfy spot to curl up and snooze.  He has been very nice to the other ferrets for the last week or two - very minimal squabbles - not sure what that is about but it makes me happy.

Theo is my wild boy - he is so exuberant about everything.  He has turned into such a love bug with me - not so much with the hubs.  We are still battling biting at times - very frustrating for my husband as he gets munched on.  Hopefully as we move into holiday break they will have a bit of time together and we can establish that Theo may be one of the pack but the humans are not.

Finn is my sweet, lovey boy - he is happy to be held and loved on and carried around.  He has such a sweet disposition and is kind to all the critters.  He loves Theo and Oliver and his ferret girls.  He tries daily to encourage Clooney to be friends with him.  He loves the hedgehog and Nigel much prefers Finn over the other ferrets.

Nigel - my pokey little dude is doing so well.  He is happy and healthy and generally go with the flow.  His health seems fantastic.  He loves his heated bed in his cage and is quite the sound sleeper.  Nigel has some new treats in his stocking - I am sure we will be reviewing those in an upcoming post.  One of the other things I am considering it creating a new enclosure for him downstairs so he can spend more time with the family while we are down there.  We will see how that goes....

Ollie - he is still taking antibiotics and is going back to the vet the day after Christmas.  He has done pretty well - I think he has thrown up 2 times since he started his meds.  Considering he was doing that multiple times a day - 2 times in 10 days is pretty darn good.  He seems happy as ever - causing chaos with his siblings - ornery boy....love him!!

There you have it - the latest skinny on the boys.  Tomorrow, the girls...
