Well, as some of you may know Fiona has already been killing and eating feeder mice a couple times a week! She loves it and was a natural, even though she's only about 3 months old! Fenton on the other hand needed some coaxing, but he is on board now! Tonight I am proud to say, Fenton had his first kills... 2 of them! A hopper, then a "jumbo mouse"! Who would have known such a sweet little guy was such a vicious predator? [ ] P1010204 by walkerstop, on Flickr Fenton about to finish off the hopper: P1010207 by walkerstop, on Flickr Fenton says "This is MY MOUSE NOW!" P1010215 by walkerstop, on Flickr Fenton killing the JUMBO mouse! P1010218 by walkerstop, on Flickr Fenton eating jumbo! P1010220 by walkerstop, on Flickr Fiona gets a kill too! P1010216 by walkerstop, on Flickr I'm so proud of my little weasels!!!

That's awesome Mikey! Do you have them on a burlap tarp? Looks nifty. Natural predators! I'm anxious to try the mice with Jude and Zoey, first I have to get Zoey on board with raw, she's proving to be a little bit more of a stinker!

I'm anxious to try the mice with Jude and Zoey, first I have to get Zoey on board with raw, she's proving to be a little bit more of a stinker! LOL... It's not a tarp, though it kinda looks like one. It's an old couch that's in the "ferret room". I took the cushions off and used it as my "mousey feeding arena"! See, the first time I tried to feed Fenton a live mouse, it was in a tall plastic Tupperware container. He seemed completely disinterested, all he wanted was to get OUT of the container. Same thing second time, I tried it in the bathtub and he just wanted out, totally ignored the mouse. Fiona for whatever reason didn't mind. Also, the first 2 times I tried with Fenton, he had already played out his hyperness, and was kind of calm. He was in more of an explore, be held, or take a nap mood. This time I tried a different approach, I used the couch which they always crawl down inside so it's a familiar and comfortable place, and I offered the mouse to Fenton right when he was at the peak of his excitement playing and wrestling and all hyper! And it worked! ;D Who knows, maybe that tactic would work for other seemingly disinterested ferrets. I'm looking forward to seeing your little fuzzes try mousies when they are ready!

Yeah unfortunately I don't live close to a supplier, so I'd have to drive about an hour to get them. It will be a rare treat, but I definitely want to get them some soon.
