Naturally, nothing is more fun to a ferret than something NEW, even the faux-New, like old toys with new smells applied or old toys recycled in some way.

And just like a cat, better than the present is the box!!! it came in. Especially if said box has lots of crinkly paper.

But between all the super cool boxes!, new !smells!, and giant balls of wrapping PaPEr, we got some very noteworthy gifts.

Probably it is more for the hooman-slave, but our big gift this year was a homemade piece by Team Crusher that traveled all the way from across the pond.

First we test for fluff density.



Then we notice the PaPEr it came in.




During this time, hooman-slave has opportunity to set up and take a picture of the full (unobstructed) view.



Finally, we check the internal amenities.




Thinking of one for yoursel...err, your fuzz?
Then please contact Team Crusher @ Crusher's Comforts.


Happy Holidays and see you again! (^_-)-♪

WOW!!!!

Ok, now that is out of my system.

In tweeting along meeting other Ferret-slaves in Japan I ran into an old favorite, Junk*Mart -- the unfortunately named store with lots of cute ferret goods I would often come across @ the JFA shows.

Naturally, I immediately messaged them with the question of whether the would be @ the 2011 JFA Spring Show.

Their response was immediate (given the current 13 hour time difference): Attendance @ the JFA Show is still undecided but we will be attending the Yokohama FereFesu .(Ferret Festival).

Which led be to in turn immediately look up that in information.
In doing so I discovered the existence of a WHOLE OTHER FERRET GROUP in Japan!!

Introducing....

IFS
(International Ferret Society)

The Spring Ferret Festival will be March 6, 2011 (Sunday).
The location is the APITA Hiyoshi Building, 3rd floor, in Yokohama city's North Minato district. Not surprisingly, like everything else in Japan, conviently close to a train line - the Touyoko Line, Hiyoshi Station.

A much smaller event than the JFA, the doors don't even open until 10:30 and close @ 4:00. The entry fee is nominal @ 500 yen (under 5 USD) which includes a game and raffle ticket. Just from reading the introduction page, it seems to be more of a giant play-date/get together. For the human-slaves there are pictures and photo contests, a best-dressed competition and lots of shopping with store fronts like Junk*Mart. For the furry-masters there are "play circles" and "corn chip" pools, and games including the infamous Tube Race and Escape! .

Want to know MORE?!

Well, should you have any further questions they invite you to



Incidentally, I will be in Japan by then so hopefully I can scrape up the money and time to get there and see for myself.

Cheers and see you again! (^_-)-♪

Cookie Cutters are...

Cookie cutter are absolutely for cookies.
And only cookies as my recent experiment has shown me.

Ferret Depot was (is?) offering a free ferret cookie cutter with orders this month. So with our last purchase of food in America we got one, too!



Between the havoc it would wreck on my back and the fact that wheat-free cookies are never the same as the sweet, sweet real stuff, I don't make roll-out cookies anymore.

I do make pancakes quite a bit though.

Hmmmm.... Maybe...?



Rather Nessie-ish actually.

So the second time I sprayed the cutter - heavily - and put the burner on super-low.




It took 15 minutes or more to cook!
Whatever it was it was f.o.r.e.v.e.r.
That tiny little thing!
As a result, this is one copper cutter that will be hanging from the Xmas tree from now on.


Cheers and see you again! (^_-)-♪

Recycling 101 : TOYS

UPDATES on Ferret Food Recalls
Responses from Whole/Natural Prey Suppliers

Running out of Last minute ideas for XMAS gifts??
Nothing like recycling! (Especially if you are like me and have no creative talents to knit or sew things.)
Nice and new for the fuzz-head. Nice for the environment (and pocket).
All that is needed is few items you surely have around.

1. old sock(s).
Worn out (no holes!), Halloween leftovers, ... Anything will do really.



2. worn out mini tennis balls with jingle inside
or old jingles from the ricky-ticky-tavy snake.



3. old cat crinkle balls (squashed down from chewing)



recommended: old helium balloon or similar crinkly yet STRONG material.



Now, stuff sock randomly, tie up the end and....

☆ ☆ FIN! ☆ ☆

☆.。.:*・RANDOM CARPETSHARKING☆COMMENTS・*:.。.☆

* Stuffing multiple socks with all the above materials or some combination of 2 will also naturally make for toys will slightly different 'flavors'.

* Personally, I HIGHLY recommend adding the crinkle-like material for several reasons. first and foremost, it crinkles. Secondly, I like to wrap up the old tennis balls (plastic jingle bells) in them just to provide a little extra protection.
