Minion and Draco share some shoes

Draco: Up close and adorably personal
-
Bonus: Minion dethroned!
As you can no doubt see, Minion, whom we often refer to as Chubbicus due to his size compared to Ysabell and Jack-Jack, is dwarfed in comparison to Ares and Draco.

Bonus: Meet the extended family
Meet the extended family of ferrets! From left to right: Draco, Nix, Ysabell/ Jack-jack/Minion, Ares Draco, Ares, and Nix are our cousin’s ferrets. They got to visit ours at Thanksgiving, and we’re babysitting them for a little while now as well.

Exhaustion!
The ferrets got a playtime last night…something like 2am to 3:30am (yay weekend+vacation!).  I got up today at 11am. And Minion and Jack-jack were both awake. So I snagged them and a very sleepy Ysabell and took them in for another playtime. So another hour and a half almost for them. Put them back in…

He’s not been very…
