Weasels & Windows

Whenever spring rolls around (or anytime for that matter), you may be opening your windows now and then to let in some of those fresh spring breezes.  Don't forget your fuzzies, though!  If your ferrets are free-roaming, or allowed to free-roam in your house certain times of day, keep windows shut while they are out and about.  Don't risk the horror of your beloved furball falling out an open window.

And don't count on screens to hold them in!  If you insist on having the windows open while the fuzzies roam, make sure there are screens on each open window, and that the screens are firmly secured in their frames.  Also make sure the screens are in good shape, without holes or scratches.  I walked into my home office one day just in time to see one of my babies' backsides disappearing through a hole in a window screen.  The hole was tiny, but she had managed to scratch it open further.  This was out of a second floor window and I caught her by her hind legs just in time!  It was the very window you see in the photo on this page, and that's the little escape artist in the photo too, facing the camera with her mouth open as if to say, "Dare me!"

Always surpervise your ferrets' free-roaming play times.  Their wonderful little lives are too short as it is and you don't want the heartbreak of losing them any sooner.

Have a safe and wonderful spring, summer or anytime open-window season!
