It's 8:30 at night here in northern Colorado. NOT somewhere, anyone has wanted to live for the past 18 hours, but I just checked in on the ferret nest. She's there, sleeping away. Seems weird since it's dark outside her little nest. Every other time I've checked in at night she's been out. I don't get it...but then I don't get mile wide tornatoes, that do 35 miles of incredible damage either. Go figure!?

We just wittnessed some of the cutest things!!!!!!!!! She was eating something, digging in her bedding.. And when she layed down she started chewing on herself.. Then she put her foot over her head and started rubbing her head with her hand then she kept chewing on her hand and IT WAS SO CUTE!!!! She is ADORABLE! Awww!!!!!

Right now she is laying on her back. Belly totally exposed. That shaved area sure isn't growing back very fast. She must be having sweet dreams cuz her little paws are moving. Sure would be great to be able to sleep like the ferrets do! Any position seem comfortable. She is just too cute!

Aw, this is so cute! I just watched her groom for about five minutes, then curl up into one of those awkward positions and fall asleep. Adorable!

Which she probably doesn't have to. Though here: youtube.com/watch?v=rbNhHtzym-sThats a black footed ferret in the wild who's war dancing to get rid of the camera man. Lol.

Hey that might be a good idea for a Photo Contest, the most horribly uncomfortable sleeping positions? Or has that been done? Sometimes the way my kids sleep i actually straighten their heads, it looks so painful!

This was posted on the FML today.
"I was looking at the Smithsonian Zoos ferret cam today and I noticed her belly was shaved, so I emailed them and asked why, assuming she had some surgery performed (til I saw her laying on her back later, and saw no stitches). I received an email back stating they have to shave them to artificially inseminate them. She is due about June 19. Mark your calenders!"

Hum... So I'm guessing the dark line on her tummy is caused by her pregnancy? I don't remember seeing that on my daughters ferret when she was pregnant. But her tummy wasn't shaved either. Does anyone know?

Her belly gets poochier by the day, it's soooo cute!!
janean, the line down her stomach is just where the fur meets like this ><. Most ferrets who have black in their coloring have the black line down their belly.

Is there some weird thing in her nest today? Or am I just seeing things? Anyone know what that is... if it is really there? Of course it will be gone when anyone else looks...so ya'll think I've just lost my mind. Again!!!

Wow.... it's a bottle of water! So I'm guessing that she was getting to warm in her nest and they put a bottle of frozen water in there to help cool her nest down. I couldn't tell what it was until she came in and played with it...and uncovered the cap. Then it was pretty simple to figure out.... DUH!
