CRI So glad Griff is doing well.
My Clover <3 (Long RIP) was around 9 when he died and tbh was not anywhere near as pampered as your pigs.
I got him when i was about 9 and it was a bit of a shock that A. He lived so long (especially after the rabbit died, although the bitch bullied him) and B. being around 17 and still giving so much of a shit about him.
We wrapped him in one of my favorite scarfs and my mum planted an ornamental clover plant over his grave.

Bloody hell.
I've just sprinted downstairs naked because Artichoke had headed down & was making "OHMYGOD" noises like she'd just discovered we'd been burgled. She's previously made similar noises when *someone* left the front door open overnight, and / or our shed was burgled.
She'd seen "a Nigel coloured cat" at our back window
It is new to the hood. Artichoke is / was amazed

The hamster I've been looking after for a friend passed away this evening at he grand old age of 3 1/2. The last 4 months I had him he enjoyed fresh veg, filtered water and general snuggling in to watch a bit of tv after a wander about in his ball

He looks so different than I remember
I was quite drunk though
He's bonier and older now
Geriatric cat innit.
They are lovely!
Do many people keep polecats as pets?
If so, are they similar to keep as ferrets?
I can't have any pets atm
Some people keep them as pets and there's a lot of cross breeding so most ferrets have a bit of polecat in them and most polecats have a bit of ferret in them. Basically a ferret is a domesticated polecat and thus easier to nip train and easier to handle although polecats are still tamable. Also polecats are nocturnal whereas ferrets are crepuscular and polecats tend to be more nervous of humans so they will tend to either run away or nip you if you go to pick them up whereas ferrets just go limp. Unless you're wanting a bit of a challenge go for a ferret rather than a polecat.
If you check up thread I've put up pictures of some pure polecat kits I was looking after for a week. (And it looks like some of them will be returning to us in the near future as the guy who runs the Ferret Help is going in for a hip operation.)
Also if you like the look of Jethro, particularly his coat, then that's from his ferret mother not his polecat father. Polecats have dark brown almost black coats with a tinge of red.

And the little fella. Just had cuddles that included him climbing all over me and onto my back. Cheeky chappie indeed. Still needs a name though

It looks like spring. Is that an old photo - or where was it taken?

I know what you mean, have had a couple of bitey ones but he is really placid. Had cuddles on the sofa with him earlier and he snuggled in. Also he went for a wander over my back and was quite happy with me just picking him up. I picked him because he was trying to climb on top of the water bottle with the help of a fellow cage-mate's head
Said cage-mate did not exactly look too impressed....

There's a younger ginger tab lives down the road that's the spit of Herbie (RIP) - same size sox and everything. Only difference was a white smudge on one side of the muzzle. Many a double take did we make thinking old Herbs had made a break for it.Bloody hell.

Only had dwarf hamsters before, but this little man looks gawjus. Any leads on a name yet?

Griff's fully recovered from his op. He's got a follow up appointment on 2nd March and probably will need monthly check ups to see if the tumours come back or the ones on the other side get bigger. He's still doing the squeaking while he pees thing now and again though - which seems to be loudest when you pay attention to Malcolm for some reason.
