Yep, there seems to be a design floor, where their tounge is longer than the space in their mouth, so when they relax, it drops out of their mouth.😉🥰😄🐾

Best bit is when they wake up, but don't realise it's still sticking out.😀

I can't remember if I posted this video before, so forgive me if you have seen it.

Rhubarb & Custard are brothers, & both 'mummy's boys'. Sometimes though, they don't see eye to eye...

We bought some Waffle crisps, the idea being, we would get some pictures of Waffle with the packets...

Something about "best laid plans" springs to mind...

The ferrets got their Christmas present early, mainly because it's hard to hide a 4ft wooden wheel...

We have been sitting here all evening watching them having a great time with it. Swizzels & Skittles arguing over it.

Our little rescue is taking to indoor life. When she first arrived, she slept in a tiny ball in the corner of the litter tray & used the rest of the cage as a toilet. We cleaned everything out & showed her the blanket. She understood straight away & swapped. Now she has relaxed a bit!😉🥰💕❤️🐾

I lpve the way ferrets act mortally wounded when they get wet. I managed to catch this after her bath... so sweet.

The little new rescue we picked up Sunday is coming round & far less nippy. Today we decided to push our luck further, cleaning her ears, & giving her a bath to remove the flea dander & properly clean the urine stains off her feet. She was a little star, no bites at all, now smelling a lot sweeter.

Our little EU polecat never ceases to amaze me. She is our 3rd "real" Polecat, & I love them to pieces, but they do tend to be a little aloof, preferring their own company, especially when it comes to sleeping. Waffle is totally different, she actually climbed up on me to have a cuddle & long sleep.

Custard is being a "carpet shark" tonight.

Such cuteness in such a small package. 🥰🐾🐾❤️

It's time for rescuing animals in our life apparently. A bluetit flew into the French window & fell to the ground unable to get up. Went out & grabbed it before the ferrets found it. Then spent about 20min standing out in the cold & rain, waiting for it's head to stop spinning. Finally flew away.

We got back home, just made a cup of tea, & got a call that they had caught it in a humain trap. So back out again. After a few hard nips getting it out of the trap & into a carrier. Having got home, we find we have picked up this pile of ticks covering a very sharp set of teeth!!!

Suz made the Christmas cake today. My job is grease & line the tins. This involves butter over my hands (I struggle with messy hands!), but at least, as a reward I get to lick the utensils clean. Waffle loved my butter covered fingers, then moved onto the cake mix bowl (don't tell anyone)...

This day 15 years ago, according to my photo memories, we had snow.

The ferrets were really excited, but a bit miffed the sledge wouldn't go on it's own, so tried to push it. I had to put the camera down, & join in.

A sequence of pictures from a few years ago, showing that not only mink like water. These guys had only been here for 1 day, & couldn't believe how different it was to life at the rescue.

Don't worry, there are several areas where we have bricks in the water for them to climb out.

Swizzels says " why take the easy way up the ferret (cat) tree via the tubes, when I can sneak up on the outside & surprise ambush anyone on the top. Oh, it's just me, never mind."

Trying to make something on the sewing machine, but Swizzels seems to know more about it than me. She is just so much help....

I always think this picture must be the nearest we get to seeing, while alive, what waiting at the Rainbow Bridge must be like for our passed ferrets. 🌈🌁 🐾❤️🥰
