Happy 8th Birthday - Theo

 This super handsome gentleman turns eight years old today!



Theo is our eldest boy. He is sweet and affectionate and very mellow. He is the protector of our group of ferrets. If someone isn't feeling great he is very much the one who watches over them and he won't let any of the other ferrets get too close. He was an amazing sibling and nursemaid to our sweet Harlow who suffered from a genetic issue and years ago when Clooney was sick and in the hospital it was Theo who gave blood for a transfusion and who stayed in the hospital with his brother.

At eight years old is he is considered a very senior ferret. I am happy to report that he doesn't have any health issues currently. His body is changing a bit with age but he is still happy and active and bright.

I love the little notch missing from his ear - he was born that way


We have celebrated his birthday with some special treats, some interaction with the dogs (who are way more interested in him than he is in them) and some extra loves from his humans. Happy, happy birthday my sweet boy!
