Rose, the ferret

The ferrets get play time while I'm cleaning their cage, and Rosie and Anya take the time to chase and play.


Rose has adrenal disease, so her tail is naked. She has had an injection of leupron to treat the disease, and it will hopefully last a long time, but the hair probably will not grow back on her tail. She has also has her spleen and two lymph nodes surgically removed.

An albino, Rosie's red eyes always glow pink in the flash. She cannot see very well, but she gets around just fine and can streak across a bed or a room with lightening speed, only bumping into a few things along the way.

Leaping in the chase after Anya across the bed. This bed is in the critter room and is unmade and covered with a vinyl cover when not in use by a critter friendly guest. This keeps hair and dust off the matress and doesn't inspire anyone to think it is a comfortable place to pee. But it sure is fun to run around on!

Here they are, Anya and Rosie, I just missed the contact between ferret skull and soft paw. No injuries are ever given or recieved when these two play. Anya has grown up with Rose and Sam and loves the ferrets more than any of the other cat in the house. She even lets herself into their cage, and eats their food.

I would have pictures of them playing with Sam too, but he was more interested in curling into Anya's sleep box, under her towel and snoozing away.
