Merlin, an albino male. He's the most human-loving of all three. He is so good natured, cuddly and super cheeky. He was for free because he was supposed to be the replacement companion to Ben Jr after his owner took him away for breeding (while he certainly was an idiot who didn't properly care for his animals - it was left to me to clean out both his ferret and Ben Jr, and play with them and he would visit them every week or so, he did breed them for working so they did have a purpose and it wasnt just random), but Ben Jr escaped
So we bought Peeka, who is a sable girly, although she is much darker than my other one x]
She's the cheekiest of the lot, and the most energetic! Her favourite thing is running around trying to steal things whereas Merlin's is playing with you and Coco's is chilling out. She was only £20, about 33$. She was bred for working as well (we didn't get her from Merlin's breeder) and was initially raised on an all-rabbit diet (whole rabbit is the best thing for them, hands down).
And then Merlin's breeder called us up and asked if we wanted another ferret as he had one left over from his most recent litter. So we got Coco, at a measly £10 (16$). She was covered in ticks as this breeder was one of those who favour the 'old way' of thinking about ferrets. Well intentioned, but a bit clueless.
She's the softest and most laid back. She likes to climb up on you and lick your ears
That's the first thing she will do when she's out of the cage.
Here's all three, although they live outdoors now as it's much better for them :3 (artificial light can be bad for them).
And before people start getting worried, no, I do not go ferreting because it kinda grosses me out + startup cost of it.
I still support it though - when done right
I wrote a novel xD
