As some of you might have seen in my other post I was going to be getting two new ferrets to be friends for Zane. After giving it some thought I decided it would be better to only get one, so may I introduce Professor Octavius Whiskers. I'm sorry the pictures aren't very good but he wouldn't stay still for a min.

He's so cute! This is a random reference but he looks like cupcake the kitten from Hey Arnold! Much cuter though. Beautiful boy xx

Professor Octavius Whiskers is certainly a Handsome boy. What a beautiful chocolate coloring.
Congratulations! What does Zane think of the little fellow?

There was some sniffing at first then a quick wrestle, then Zane scuffed him and dragged him under the bed. Zane was making his happy ferret noise and Octavius was making a weird little noise but nothing that sounded too distressed. Eventually they both came out from under the bed and ran around separately, then back under the bed. Octavius was making the weird little noise again and I explained to my daughters that they were just getting to know who was who and what was what and if there were any sounds of real distress we would intervene. Next thing you know Octavius is making the noise from under the bed but Zane pops out, seems the weird little noise is his baby version of the happy ferret noise and we have been misjudging poor Zane. Then we saw Octavius chasing Zane and then he tried to roll him and scruff him, Zane just scuffed him and dragged him back under the bed. They are in separate cages but next to each other so they can get used to each other. I think it's going well so far, fingers crossed.

It sounds like it's going really really well. Zane is trying to stash little Octavius and he refuses to stay put. That's so cute.
Babies make a little meep sound. So, we call them baby meepers. You're off to a great start. I think they will probably start to ask you to let them sleep together.
Hooray for great intros! (dance)

Octavius is a small package of trouble lol he tried to steal the dolls house wishing well in the first five mins he was out. Zane as of yet hasn't tried to steal anything.

Sounds like you are in for quite a ride with that little character. Octavius should soon teach Zane all the joys of stealing and stashing. :boing:

Today my daughter has had Zane and Octavius out to play together a few times, when i got home i went in to see them. Zane was under his blanket asleep, Octavius saw me and started going crazy, climbing the bars and wanting out. Are all baby ferrets this noisy or do we have a broken one lol. He only really shuts up when hes eating, hes like a car alarm going off. I let him in to see Zane and he was climbing all over him making that noise. Zane tried to hide under his blanket so i put Octavius down to play and picked Zane up, he was shaking. Zane has pretty much stopped biting when you hold him, (which he only ever did to try and play i think) but he will only put up with a couple of mins being held before he wants to go down, tonight he let me cuddle him, i think hes scared of Octavius. Poor Zane i really don't think he knows whats hit him lol

Kits are loud. They squeak, squawk, and best of all honk. Like a goose. Loudly.
