My goodness - permit me, first and foremost, to extend my most profound and multifaceted condolences, both retrospective and immediate, for the dual instances of irreversible biological cessation to which you have alluded. I say this not with performative flippancy but with an earnest recognition of the emotional and metaphysical weight such losses must surely carry.
However, I must confess - and I do so with no intent to trivialize the gravity of the aforementioned subject matter - that the gears of my auditory cognition, colloquially referred to as my “acoustic brain”, have been set into motion, spinning with inquiries of both logistical and, dare I say, philosophical nature.
To articulate more precisely, I find myself compelled to inquire whether there exists, either formally or informally, a designated physical location - a cemetery, burial plot, or memorial site of any recognized denomination or configuration - wherein the former, now-deceased residents of your ferret-focused sanctuary are ceremonially interred, commemorated, or otherwise preserved in memory.
Alternatively, and I ask this with no small degree of delicacy, is the physical matter that once constituted the animate form of these mustelid companions simply subjected to a more utilitarian and, perhaps, emotionally detached method of disposal? For example, is there a protocol in place involving incineration, municipal waste collection, or other such mechanisms that would place the final resting point of these beings in a metaphorical and literal void?
Furthermore - and again, I speak not from morbid curiosity but from a sincere interest in the cultural and procedural dimensions of such an operation - is there any kind of farewell gesture offered in their honor?

there it is

to be honest I didn't know the answer either and was curious. i didnt say what i said as an attack on your character or anything

Oh yeah everyone gets cremated and I get matching little wood boxes and name plates for everyone

#

I believe nowadays the general process is to take the animal to a vet who does cremation, and then bury the box with the ashes.

#

Yup thought so

#

I don't bury the boxes though I have a shelf

#

I also keep any sentimental toys / bedding / items they liked with them

Eventually since I know the amount of boxes will outgrow my shelf with time I want to plan a garden at some point and pick out plants for each one

My ferrets were apparently randomly hungry last night, and finished off their normal amount of food before morning, and thus were ravenous when i came and gave em their morning stuff.

Lead to Pancake and Butter both deciding to go ahead and try freeze dried minnows, i think just because they were closest when i set down the food tray.

Either way, they both have added a new treat to their list, and i upped the amount of food that goes in their dish before bed every night. Heh.

oh i love those freeze dried minnows for my cats!! the crunch they make when my cats are eating them is really satisfying

Speaking of Petco, kinda had a funny experience this week. After dealing with a long thursday, I decided to swing by the pet store on the way home to grab my pup a small bag of treats. At checkout i gave the lady my Petco card n she said “this is Pet Smart not Petco”. I said “Ma’am both stores start with the word Pet. Give me some credit that i partially know where i am” 😆 Anyway i blame Beans for staring into my soul too much n giving me ferret brain that day. Lol

Couldn't find the picture in my long ass photo roll but here's an old screenshot of a poster I made when I thought it was lost

#

Also, the 4-th ever time I held him (out of 5), that one guy that was afraid of ferrets was trying to kick it for some reason. Couldn't figure out a better solution than just grab the noodle like a gun and chase the guy with it. It really liked it, made the happy noises and I could feel the vibration in my hands.

I got a small dook out of loki. Seeing improvement like this with him on pred is amazing. He has energy, he is playing again, he is eating better, I need to get a scale to see if he has gained weight because he feels like he has. It makes me so happy to see this. I may have cheered when he dooked and loki just stopped and stared at me then bounced away

It's cute how when you pick up certain ferrets, they immediately do the splits

undone cape

Maybe this will be useful to someone:
Our oldest ferret is named Sushi, one of the two first ferrets my husband and I got together (I had some as a teenager)
Sushi was born deaf, she has lost her vision in the last couple of years (she's between 6 and 7 years old) her spleen is enlarged, she has Andrenal Disease, which is a tumor in their adrenal gland that results in an overproduction of sex hormones, this has caused her to go bald.
She has chronic diarrhea, it got much worse in the last few months.
If someone gave me a piece of paper, showing all of the health problems she has, I would 100% advocate for them to cross the rainbow bridge.
Sushi has been sleeping more, we assumed it was due to declining health.. which she has..
But our ferrets have access to 3 rooms organically and a gate that keeps them from the rest of the house which is not yet ferret proofed.
Sushi has gone to the gate to the rest of the house.. sniffing, but we didn't want to "overwhelm" her by letting her room the rest of the house with no sight or hearing

#

Husband decided to let her explore... she literally mapped out the house by sticking to her left, and following the wall. She did this several times. Now pretty much every time she wakes up, she goes to the gate, pretends like she's going to climb.. and under supervision explores.. she's more active now than in the last year and a half.
I'm not saying to let a pet live if they are suffering, I'm suggesting trying to figure out your pet's unique situation before you decide their fate.
I am 100% aware Sushi could take a downturn in the next week and options will be different

#

Sorry for the rant, it's been an emotional rollercoaster

#

Hopec that helps one person

#

Heart lil old sushi has the best oldie life. getting to explore something new is like a ferrets favorite thing

fickle basalt
#

That's pretty much Henry's situation as well (although technically they didn't know when they got him), and he's living the best life he can.
As long as they're not suffering needlessly (usually for egotistical reasons), we do what we can.

#

No disrespect to the king ofc.

We took the ballpit out completely for now. The boy in the room likes to splash water outside of their fountain, and throw food all over. Then others eat the floor food. Clyde may have to go in a cage at night when we can't clean up after them.

# tall path Yeah I've never personally had an issue with blind / deaf ferrets navigating new...

Yes thank you so much. Last ping and I'll stop bugging you.
The data I saw said after 2 feet vision detail drops substantially, but I wonder if that varies. We have one and only one ferret that will always make direct eye contact with us from the floor.
Heck one in four develop insulinoma. Unlike other animals they have a much larger lifespan with an insulinoma, maybe there's a genetic trait that causes 99% of ferrets to have decreased vision capacity because of all the inbreeding, and ferrets 3000 years ago could see 10 feet. Who knows.
(Maybe you guys will figure it out with the research you're funding)
Thanks for all the help Sushi.
I didn't even know what an idexx panel was, and it was never given to me as an option. They just did an in house analysis 🤷‍♀️
I would have done it 2 years ago when her diarrhea started!

Also contention about whether they see red/pink or blue better. In my anecdotal experience, the ferrets I've had reacted more towards pink

are they red green colorblind like cats

#

oh it seems like more yellow and green blind

low pumice
#

I've read varying opinions, but blue and red/pink and everything else are shades of gray seems to be one of the more prevalent opinions

#

And it seems a bit divided if the pink is vibrant and the blue dull, or the other way around

Not a ping Shaye, but it was really neat watching Sushi "map out" the rest of the house when she first started exploring since she's completely blind, she followed the left wall all the way around. Tried to draw her path with the pinkline. She did this her first few trips, then she started finding "anchor points" to figure out about where she was, and moved inward to explore what was in the middle of the room. I am constantly impressed by how smart fuzzies are

#

I took the map our vacuum made and drew on top of it

I had a friend with a blind dog (pfft. Dogs) who did something similar, he would start in the center of a room, and start doing spirals that got bigger and bigger to map out where things were in a room

I had a dream last night which was extremely specific and also the most detailed I've experienced yet. Featuring ferrets.

I was in Seattle. For some reason. Never been there but it looked just like a part of my home time that was sloped but it was much more sloped, all buildings and trees were extra high, no potholes and everyone spoke English. Not just English, GTA English. I was walking around with a shawarma wrap (never eaten IRL). For some reason. A bunch of ferrets (like 5 of them I think) were walking and sniffing around downhill. I went "awww, who let you outside?" giving a chunk of meat from the wrap to them. One of them had a nametag. It was just the Snail's House logo with no actual name. I went "Snail's House? Gawd matherfacking dayum" in a strong 'merikan accent. People passing by looked at me weird.

#

I pulled out my Xiaomi with PostMarketOS (I don't main it but in the dream I was carrying that, not an intentional flex). Opened up Firefox and then the cursed mobile web version of Discord waiting for it to load awkwardly while trying to keep the ferts attracted. On this very server I had 1 ping in #news and 3 in #ferrets, didn't read them. Looked briefly at the ticket channels then audibly said "nah, fork this, that's too slow" and went to #ferretchat while fighting over the wrap. My brain didn't even render what was in the channel at the time and I just hit the attachments button. The dream logic matrix glitched and let me use the Android inline photo thingy, so I took a picture of the one with the shiny nametag with the background visible and captioned "y'all lost smth?". After like 5 seconds, I saw "Shaye is typing..." with a broken animation for like a solid 30 seconds then she just said "d". Truer words have never been spoken. Then Thor himself without any indication typed "holy hell". Then someone's name flashed in the typing thing briefly before just saying "Multiple people are typing...". Then I looked around and Shaye herself ran out of a street corner with an iPhone (for some reason) in hand and ran towards me. Before she even got to me I said while struggling "H-hey" and woke up laughing.
