Food: dry ferret food, Almo Natura dry kitten food, boiled chicken, boiled chicken livers and hearts
Playtime: sometimes 20-30 minutes in the morning, about 3 hours in the evening, usually a half hour quiet training session before I go to bed
Pookey's starting to really integrate into our family. She plays with Pimpi some, and I think they'll be good friends. Nana mostly ignores her. With Tino, we still lock up Pookey when he's home, sometimes in a carrier in the living room, but it's going to take quite a while.
When out and about, she mostly explores on her own, but she does come out to show us the weezl war dance some, and plays chase with Pimpi a bit. She got a snack with Pimpi and Nana once, and everyone behaved well.
We went to the vet, who is experienced with ferrets of his own. She's in good health, and will be fixed next month and vaccines start a month later. She'll get a microchip when she's fixed. Poopy exam will be today, and she got flea treatment last night using the vet's recommended Stronghold for kittens, with no adverse reactions yet.
She's getting better about biting, and I can usually handle her without gloves, though when she's excited, I definitely have to use them. Her training sessions are after she's played for a while, and consist of her being picked up, set in my lap, getting a treat or two, and being set down by gentle scruffing. It's going to take time for us to trust each other, but I see it building.
