This cutie is Nellie, my lovely ferret. She is a female ferret, her color is chocolate with blaze, mitts, kneepatches and bib. The city she lives in is Coslada, in Madrid, Spain. She is a very special ferret... because she came home like a kind of "present" for passing all my high school exams... I studied really hard during the previous summer just to pass all the exams and get her ... and since I got her, she has lived at my home with my other ferret, Sweeney ;)
Well, at first, when she arrived home, she was a bit stressed out because of the travel (she came from Mallorca, a Spanish island, so she had been in the carrier for 2 days... and since she was a bit stressed she bit me two times... but in the second day she stopped to bite, and from then on, she is really good with people, she never bites, and she loves to sleep on you (she even makes kind of groans when she is asleep!) and she also enjoys being carried in your arms, as you can see in one picture. But when she is in the mood to play she is really active!! She and her partner Sweeney have a whole room to play together ^^ they enjoy running to chase each other. I think her favourite toys are tubes! She has got 3 tubes in her room and when she is playing with Sweeney she use to get into them, I think that's because Sweeney is too big to get into the tubes, so it's a safe place for her haha
At the moment she is too young to learn tricks (though ferrets are not the best pets at learning tricks), and gets distracted really easily. However, she has already learned to get up and to roll, and will always do it s long as I give her food!
One peculiarity of her is that she has got a really long and soft hair!! Although she is not a full angora ferret, she really has got a great hair! When I go with other friends who have ferrets too, they always tell me that she has got an amazing hair ^^ At first I thought she would have a normal hair, or even a rough hair, because when she arrived home, she had the hair like really irregular, she had got some wisps of long hair and some of really short hair... that's because her mom used to lick her way too much, and since ferret's tongue is really rough (just like cat's tongue!), she "broke" or "cut" her hair... she was like you see in the second photo! But fortunatley she shed her hair and since that day she is like my own furry pompom!
