It's Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and.............................Monty!
Yep, you read right, Monty!
Today we had arranged to go down to the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue to present them with the wonderful donation from the Allhallows Croppers.
Old Two Legs made the appointment and was asked if he was looking for a new mate for Wendy?
OTL said he would leave it a while and see how she settled down without Freddy.
Well, Miss Wendy has been a bit 'Clingy' and has gone off her food as well. She was eating but not enough for a good poo!
That's how OTL tells if the ferrets are OK by the size, colour and sniff of the poo when he is cleaning the cages.
So. this morning we all had a meeting and while Wendy said she was OK as it was and to let her sort herself out.
Holly and I discussed it when we went for our morning stroll and decided that we should try to get her to at least have a look!

| Well, you have always got to have someone to cuddle up to and we got OTL! |
He spotted a butterfly he hadn't seen before and reckons it could be a 'Transparent Burnet' only they are only seen up in the North West Highlands and in Northern Ireland!
Mind you, it could be an oddity in it's colouring!
 |
| A Lost 'Transparent Burnet'? |
 |
| Nice to see you! |
Roy and Chris were tickled pink with the donation which will go to providing veterinary care for the ferrets. They were saying that last year the vet cost them £1800.00!
We were introduced to a little Polecat Ferret called Monty.
Now Monty has been bullied by the other ferrets in the cage and he has been thrown out of the bedroom and forced to sleep on his own!
We tried an introductory meeting between him and Wendy.
Wendy went for him with a squeal and charge! Monty, not having much self confidence after being bullied retreated at speed and hid in the back of the cage!
She just wouldn't leave him alone and chased him all over the place!
We then tried Wendy with a big strong albino who looked like he wouldn't take any nonsense from anyone.
That was until he met up with Wendy!
She chased him all over the cage and he retreated into the back of the bedroom at high speed!
It was looking like Wendy was heading for a single existence in that big cage at home.
OTL was troubled by this and remembered back when Freddy met Wendy for the first time, she did the same thing and Freddy just turned his back and went off to sleep!
Getting no response from Freddy, Miss Wendy took herself off and slept on her own for a couple of weeks before OTL found them in the same cuddle cup, cuddled up together!
So, we are going to spend some time putting them together in a 'Controlled Environment' which means a neutral cage and with OTL on hand to act as referee!
With any luck Monty will get a bit braver and Wendy will get fed up with attacking Monty!
Well, that's the plan anyway!
So, here is Monty, getting used to OTL's attention with cap full of Ferretone and tickles around the back of his neck!
We will start the introductions tomorrow and claws crossed, it won't be long before the hostilities cease and we find them cuddled up together!
 |
| Your called OTL? |
 |
| Who is that over there rattling the cage door? |
 |
| OK, if you don't mind I'm off for a drink and a bite to eat! |
See you all tomorrow!
Luv,
Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty!
Yo maties. Good evening Monty. Well I do hope that Miss Wendy decides she wants to have someone to snuggle up with and lets Monty share her cage soon. He looks a very sweet little chap and he is clearly in need of a lovely home where he gets tummy tickles and lots of fuss. It's not nice to be chucked out of your bedroom, I know the feeling, my boy bought this gadget wot looks like a space ship today and it tells you about the air quality and takes out the nasty things and gets rid of the nasty niffs, my boy was being funny and chucked me out of his room cos he said the machine was saying there was niffs and things when I went in, my mum was not best pleased with him, she told him, he wouldn't need a machine if he dusted and hovered his room ......... so there BOY!!!!!!!!!! Anyways, apart from being insulted by my boy, I've invented and new dance, I was on my mums bed and ....... I raked my right paw on, my left paw on, right paw, left paw and nudged it with my nose, I did a couple of circles then I laid right down, that's wot it's all about............ mind, my mum wasn't best pleased at that either cos she'd only just made the bed ........ Loved the pictures today, specially the ones of little Monty. I'm glad the ferret people were pleased with their donation, hope their vet gives them some discount. Hope you all have a lovely evening with some muggings. I'm off to put my paws up after a hard days guarding. Love, licks, wags and sniffs from little Arch and the Nippers xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteHello Monty and good luck with Wendy, she really is her own worst enemy, just ignore her and hopefully she will take to you like she did Freddy, Monty you are a little cutie. So glad Harrietsham can find good use of the money, they are so dedicated with their love of ferrets.
ReplyDeleteWell we will soon be off "Down South" and over the water, going to Craft tomorrow with some Scottish shortbread and I have some doggie shaped shortbread for our friends who are going south with us together with Harry their woofer. Our neighbours dog who was traumatised by the thunder and lightening has now recovered which is very good news, poor love. Lovely pictures, awaiting Monty Instalment Two. xxxxx, X for Freddy and x for Monty.
Hi Monty!!! I do hope Miss Wendy becomes your cuddle bug!!! You just gotta let her know you can’t be sniffed around!!
