Ferrets….

Not that there’s anything wrong with the ferrets (at least, nothing a hormone jab won’t sort out for Ivy, who’s in season) but I would like to get them out of the house. They’re charming and delightful house pets – but they do get everywhere, and I feel they do better out in natural light and getting natural temperatures, not the artificial versions, so I’ve been wondering where to move them to.

I’ve decided to put them in the small dairy shed. There’s tons of light and enough dry floor space for them, so I spent a bit of time carrying the stacks of bricks out of there and putting them in a damp corner of the big dairy shed. I’ll move the cages out from the spare bedroom in the house and over to the shed in the next day or two, then see if I can find some good playpens online for them to spend their days in.

I go through there frequently with hay bales, feeds and so on, so they’ll get plenty of human time and attention.

The hosepipe stayed on the tap today so I was able to fill up all the water buckets easily and without carrying buckets anywhere!
