My little ferret, Twitch, passed away today. It's four months since we lost her sister, Fidget, and we weren't sure she'd live even a week after that, as she went into sharp decline. We gave her lots of extra care, and daily supplements that she took on a teaspoon of Greek yoghurt - a huge treat. She'd come out of her bed, tongue-first when she woke to the spoon being wafted in front of her. She slowly came back to strength and enjoyed her cuddles - and giving J a good nibble. She never bit me, but would always give him a sneaky nip; just like a puppy, they play with their teeth. She was by far the smaller of the two, but was a feisty one, always jumping on long-suffering Fidget and giving her a nibble. She had her morning cuddles, raw meat and yoghurt, and passed away in her sleep during the day. A peaceful way to go, and we couldn't hope for a better way. We'll still miss her terribly, though. The house will be a little bit different when I return at the weekend. Sleep well, little Twitch-monster.
Awww so sorry. They make lovely pets. We lost our big male last year a few months after losing the female. They're huge characters, really miss watching them play.
So sorry to read about little Twitch, the loss of a beloved animal leaves a large gap in out lives, but some comfort to know that Twitch had a very good life with you.
I'm so sorry. It hits me a bit hard, never had a ferret, but my cat when I got married was named Twitchie. Twitchie-Witchie-Pookie-Wookins for short. Maybe they will meet at the Rainbow Bridge.
I'm so sorry for your loss of beautiful little Twitch. She and Fidget look like they were a remarkable pair and now can get up to all sorts of mischief together again.
Ah so sorry Fiona. Twitch and Fidget had lovely lives with you, and were much loved members of your family. You just can't ask for more. Xxx
Aww,,,I am so sorry, what an amazing life they both had, I have enjoyed your video clips and tales of their antics, would have never considered ferrets as pets...but now I think what great family members Twitch and Fidget were. x
