Cookie is eating me out of house and home right now and the FDR he eats isn’t cheap haha. He usually gains a little for winter but he’s a little piggy this year. He’s eating his bowl of food twice as fast as usual. The vet noticed it too. She said he was “robust” a few weeks ago when he went in for a vaccination and he’s only been gaining since. I can only imagine what she’s going to say next month at his follow up. He must have gained a quarter pound by now. Also I swear he grew his entire winter coat in one evening. Me and my girlfriend went on a date down town for the day a few weeks ago and somehow by the time we got back he was twice as fluffy. Apparently he’s in a hurry to prepare for winter this year.

My Huck is also a fluffy little chunker right now. He eats constantly! He's currently rockin' his winter bod, which is the shape of a rugby ball 😂😂

Haha, did Cookie shed a lot quickly before growing her new coat? That's known as "blowing the coat," and of 30 ferrets in all, I've only seen it twice. We went away over night and when we got homPoppy had nothing but peach fuzz all over, and if not for that I would have thought she was adrenal. When we got Erika she was a sliver panda with faint eye patches and one morning she woke up a chocolate colored panda.

Oh my gosh yes. Almost every time he sheds its like that. All in one evening. I’m not sure if it’s because of the quickly fluctuating weather in Oregon where I live or what. I don’t blame him. I’ll be wearing shorts and a tank top one week and then the next it’ll be freezing outside. He always blows his whole coat in a few days and I’m left pulling clumps of fur out of my bedsheets and my mouth

Funny thing is when Carol blew hers we never found all the old fur! I mean she started slowly so we knew shedding was coming, but then BAM,  She was mostly free roam in a house with full carpet, so maybe it just got sucked up in the vacuum. |

Cookie was free range in my room during the day but his favorite place to be was my bed so you can guess where I found the bulk of the fur.
