Pantaleimon, my new adult furry thing

Me and Pantaleimon, couldn’t be happier 🙂

Hi there!

I am a first year student in Veterinary Medicine. We have 3 Refuges at school, one for cats, one for dogs and one for small mammals.

I have met two wonderful ferrets in September and have since then been in love with them. A week ago, the Refuge got a new ferret, found in the streets wandering, very gorgeous looking.

He is lucky to have been lost in summer, if I can say that being lost is a lucky thing, but our winters are cold in Canada. I hope he hasn’t been on the streets for long.

Anyways, I’ve been fostering him for a week now and absolutely love him. I have decided today to keep him and I couldn’t be happier. He’s a great ferret.

From what I heard from friends and websites, ferrets love to nibble toes and steal things. This little guy doesn’t seem to give a care about toes and only steals his own toys to store them somewhere I can’t get to. I don’t mind too much 🙂

I have two cats, 2 rats and a snake. The ferret hasn’t met the snake nor the rats and I don’t plan on doing that any time soon. But the cats love him! He is absolutely hilarious and my female cat is especially keen on chasing and being chased by my dear Pantaleimon.

Thanks for all the info!

By the way, what does BEW mean?
