Little things happen and with ferrets, so often little things make us scratch our heads and wonder why is this happening.

Such was the case of Kimiko on Sunday morning!

I’d given the ferrets their smoothy and, as you might be aware, I’ve been adding just a small bit of coconut oil butter to their smoothy for a little bit of added oomph. The ferrets all love it and it’s totally benign so apart from making their poop smell like coconut (!), it doesn’t hurt them to eat it.

As you know, I’m giving both Angus and Seamus a daily dose each of DHA Omega and it’s obviously helping Seamus, since I can see how he’s perked up since I’ve been giving it to him. Angus has always been full of beans so I can’t state categorically that it’s helping him but I hope it is shrinking his adrenal tumours so that he’ll be with me for many more years!

Since then, I’ve been told about coconut oil being good for pets.

You know that kid’s book called “Where’s Wally?“? Well, I think I should write a kid’s book called “Angus and the Ugg Boot“.

Angus does NOT like Philip’s Ugg boots to be left on the floor – they have to been hidden.

Mind you, I’ve told Angus that he’s not a very good hider of Ugg boots as I always seem to find them – LOL!

I love researching stuff about ferrets  

I was wondering if coconut oil was good for ageing ferrets and, lo and behold, Google produced a link to the Goat Mountain Soap Company which has ….

What a brilliant present for us to give our family and friends, don’t you think? Quirky, silly and useful! Hey, what more could you ask for as a present

Now to find out if they ship their products to Oz!

When I dropped the little ones off in the morning, I was told to pick them up at 4pm unless someone called me to ask me to come at a different time, so I duly arrived at the vet’s surgery at 4 and told a new vet nurse I was here to pick up my ferrets.
