Little Logan came into our family on November 14th, 2008, we wanted another pet to love, he is not a replacement for Storm. As pet owners know not one pet that has gone to the Bridge can be replaced, they each and everyone has a special place in our hearts. They leave behind many memories of their delightful personalities, things they did to make us laugh and smile.
Just like Dusty and Storm, Logan was born in New York on the Marshal Ferret Farm, on August 17th, 2008, his breed is a black sable. My granddaughter purchased him at PetCo in Holland, Michigan on November 14th., she also bought him his own cage and supplies. The reason for this we did not know how Dusty would act around a strange ferret, so we fixed Logans cage up for him and put Logan in for the night. At the pet store Logan had a cage buddy, so he chewed and dug at the bars of his cage, he wanted out. Logan was not use to a regular cage, if anyone has ever went into PetCo they would see their animals are in glass cages except the birds.
The next day we put Dusty and Logan on the floor and Dusty grabbed him by the neck and drug him around, this is normal behavior and then he ignored him the rest of play time. Logan was not afraid of Dusty, he followed him around and tried to play. The first week when Logan was out he would chuckle all the time, this is their way of talking, it really sounds so cute. He liked us right away, never would let you catch him, until a few days he would come up to you and if you tried to pick him up he would run away, he is so cute and soft, we love him already. We tried to see if he likes fruit or vegetables but he does not, he does like whipping cream and his ferret oil. We are putting him in Dusty's cage a little at a time, one time they did fall asleep together, so I guess there is hope.
I have to give you an update about Dusty, he misses his pal Storm very much and was mourning him when we got Logan. It was heart breaking when we would let him out for play time, he went all over the house looking for Storm, plus he doesn't look so good, he lost almost all his hair from that adrenal disease, he did have an implant under his skin to get his hair back, but it is a slow process. He tolerates Logan, does not drag Logan so much any more, and he will play with him a little. It is sad to look in Dustys cage and see him laying in his hammock alone, without Storm draped over him like a blanket. Dusty caught a intestinal virus that Logan brought with him, but Logan did not have it, just was a carrier. So we had to take Dusty to the vets and get medicine, we thought we were going to loose Dusty for awhile, it took a week, he is all better now.
Logan likes to run at your legs and jump on them, when you bend down to pick him up he runs away, he never stops running around the house when it is play time. He has a tube to run through, a big blanket on the floor to run on, plays with plastic pop bottles and anything you throw for him to chase, we are trying to break him of chewing on the cords. The thing he enjoys most is hiding things under couch and beds, he even trys to drag your shoes under. We are going to post some pictures of him soon.
