Hi

My name is Pat and I just joined this forum. I thought I would take a minute and introduce myself. I have had ferrets for almost 20 yrs. and right now share my life with six of them.
Dweezil (angora) 6.5 years
Dixie(blaze) 6.5 years
Katy (siamese) 7 yrs.
Kizzy( dark sable) 6 yrs.
Moxie (silver mitt) 1.5 yrs
Willia (albino) 1 yr.
I listed Dix and Dweez first because although they are not the oldest, they are both suffering from illnesses that will take them to the rainbow bridge first, so I guess I think of them as the oldest.
Hope to make some friends here.
Pat

To answer your question..Dix is about 3 in that picture. She was the only one I had no trouble training to do tricks. She would rollover when she wanted something, and she learned that by hand signals (because of her deafness). She no longer does it because now she is blind too. It is amazing how well they still get around with only that little pink nose for navigation.
Here is Dweezil he is my other sick boy.
