JessLough and I took our ferrets today to get their annual ADV test. ADV is an autoimmune, contagious ferret illness, and so, before their bi-annual ferret frolics, the local ferret rescue holds this ADV test. The kids have to get a nail clipped at the quick for the blood test.
Our three all took them like troopers, though poor little Palom was too laid back to bleed (they need to be mildly stressed to get enough blood pressure to bleed through the nail) so he got quicked four times.
He was fine though, doses of ferretone in between helped!
Anyways, post-test, we took them to the playground behind the community centre where the clinic was, so they could have some fun and dig.
Rascal goes down the slide! Wheeee!
Rascal and Porom tagteam-digging.
Hanging out with some of the coordinator's ferrets!
One day, I want a really dark ferret like the fellow in these pics.
Palom agrees, dark ferrets make nice kissyface.
