My little helper

Getting ready to do my weekly water change tonight, went for tea came back to find this.

Love it! They get in everywhere!
We used to have a ferret, Smudge, who was ace, used to take him for walks around the local woods, better behaved than some of the local dogs and the owners used to look pretty confused when they’d see him.
Is it a Jill or Hob? Love the mask on them

I do enjoy a nice ferret, as long as it's not gripping my finger.........

He's a 6 year old hob called Thor. He had a tumor removed 15 months ago and the vets gave him a few months but he's still here and as fit as a fiddle. We also have a 4 year old jill called Sif. She bites everyone for fun except me. When the wife sleeps in and I think it's time she got up I just put Sif on the bed and wait for the scream. I think it's hilarious but funnily the wife doesn't. She usually bites her on the bum.    We used to have 4 but now just the 2. I'll post a pic of Sif when I can get her to sit still long enough to get a shot.

Lmao we had a female like that, took ages for her to get used to us and she liked me best, not without leaving me with scars mind! And she bit my OH’s best mate on the neck!

I have a few pics of Smudge and one of Baby (really poor quality circa 2005/6 phone camera and yes my nails are black), we had Smudge until he was 8 he had hip problems/arthritis , Baby went missing mysteriously.
The cats never bothered Smudge and he never bothered them unless they stuck their paws in his hutch...
They are great pets though

Some nice pics there. We lost Siff last April. We think she went out the front door when the postman came with a parcell. I went out every day at dawn and dusk but no sign of her. My daughter in law suggested taking Thor out on a lead to lay a scent trail back to our house. Did that and left the side gate open and at 5 o'clock the following morning there she was at the back door waiting to come in. A trip to the vet to make sure she was ok and thankfully she was, just a few ticks in her fur. As you say lovely pets. She was missing for 5 days. I must admit I have a few scars on my hands too.

Glad you got her back.
Smudge did venture off once or twice. First time he was found on my inlaws neighbor’s worktop (we were living with my inlaws at the time) eating a cake or pie. Second time he got out of the run we had in the backyard. In traditional ferret fashion, he worked out one of the bars by the door was slightly wider than the rest, went 2 doors down and tried getting in their patio doors and was scratching the glass like a dog (while we’re running round looking for him). I got back to the house and just as i get to the backyard he comes wandering back through the hedge like nothing is going on, managing to avoid nexts doors dogs and all the cats in the allotments!
We think Baby disappearing had something to do with a former house mate of ours, but we could never prove anything
