Oh happy day
Day one living with a ferret. Everything has been going better than expected. Typically a ferret in a strange enviroment will want to stay in the safety of their cage for several days before venturing into the house. Not Bindi, she wanted out as soon as she got home. She got a short play session before we had to leave. When we got back we played with her for quite a while but I had to put her on time-out three different times. She would get too excited and hiss and bite. I don't want her to think that is ok in the future so might as well take care of it now rather than later. She looked very guilty on her time-outs and I know it made a difference, by the end of the night she had stopped being so mean. She absolutely LOVES Jasmine. They ran around Bindi's room over and over again. One minute Jasmine was chasing her, the next Bindi was chasing Jasmine. (usually jumping at Jasmine's diaper) She was obviously taken well care of at her previous home. She came with all her papers, tons of toys, two litter boxes, her cage, her leash, harness, collar, food, and litter. (and of course her cage) She is definitely a little ball of energy. She hates her collar so we'll have to work on that after she gets settled in. I didn't want to traumatize her on her first night here. (the collar has a bell on it, allowing me to know where she is) She keeps trying to get into the closet in that room and I'm going to have to find a solution to keeping her out. So far so good. Now we just need to add a few more. ;)

It sounds like a great time with Bindi on her first night - she did settle in well didn't she. She must know she is where she belongs. How cute she & Jasmine are friends already. With everything she came with it does sound like they cared for her. I'm happy for you & Bindi!!!!

Sounds like Bindi is going to fit in quite nicely around there!
