These three are the brothers of Ruby, all the Hobs born in the litter of 2007.
Dimrat, then Archie originally went to live with Carol and her son Aston at their home; she named them Gimlet and Arkamedies originally, though her son gave them the nicknames, Dimrat because he gives the impression of being daft.
Bill was offered to me by Fred and I accepted his offer, when I decided that I could house him with Zac, after both ferrets were neutered.
Shortly after the arrival of Bill, I was contacted and asked by Aston if I could find a new home for Carol’s ferrets, because her ill health meant that in the opinion of he and his mother, the ferrets could not receive the attention they felt necessary. I realised I could keep the ferrets as a pair because I had a suitable cage; both Carol and Aston were pleased that I would take care of the ferrets.
I felt sad to take Carol’s “boys” away from her as I knew how she doted on them and she was very sad to see them leave.
At my home all four neutered ferrets were introduced to each other and hit it off ; there is pandemonium when they are out together, running around and play fighting. I also update Carol on their progress.
The picture below shows two lap ferrets in the cold winter 2010, the third brother also joined in later.
As of the winter of 2010-2011 the brothers have a new trick, they fall asleep when on my lap, demonstrated below by Bill and Dimrat.
