I dont have my good camera working for photos right now i cant find the battery charger gah and i dont get good enough service in Remus to send photos from my phone to my email so its been kinda tough going cause i dont think about sending the photos untill im back home again and its all ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGh.
I didnt smoosh the meal in his face ahaha but the boys are doing good we're probably going to add a pitbull puppy to our family in the next few weeks *giggles* but brian is dead set on the evil that is kibble. i told him that i wont have anything to do with the responsibility for the dog if he does that unless we can atleast supplement. hes dead against it though. -.- jerk. but the puppies are 3 weeks old so we have another 4-6 weeks for me to convince him to let me atleast supplement because it'll help the pup live a longer healthier life..
Dont worry about Colberts huntying skills he'll do fine but are you going to have him kill in a giant rubbermaid tub or the bathtub. My ferrets both HATE the tub so its hard to get them to hunt in there but i have a home made ferret cage with hardwar cloth instead of bars so the mice cant get out haha i just throw the mice in there and the boys have a hey day jumping all over the cage to get at them. I dont let my cats have live mice because they play with them until they die a ferret pounces bites the back of the neck and shakes the mouse is dead within 30 seconds or less as opposed to the 10 -15 minutes a cat takes. Good luck with the rabbit, rabbits are low in taurine though so it probably wouldnt be the best MAIN diet source unless you're regularly feeding heart and other meats. Looking forward to pix of the widdle boy =) hes such a handsome lad. *thefts for own personal ferret collection*

Grrowwll, I feel your pain. Hahh, We loose the charger all the time, Lol. Awwhh, I LOVE Pits! Congrats about that, and I demand pictures when you get him/her!  Well, I'm sure you'll be able to convince him, and if not, Kate you just have to put your foot down and demand it! Kibble is Evil and you don't have to feed that. But supplementing would be better with nothing, I suppose, If that's all you can muster out of him, Hahh. x3 Well, A bathtub he might hate cause he dislikes baths .. So, I'll prolly have to use the rubbermaid, We already have a couple so that'll be cake. Lol, Awwwh, How cute to hear and watch 'em get them mousies. ;3 Yahh, I knoww and giving the poor thing to Bruce would defly be torture since he's still a kitty so he'd play with it for hours, Eek. We might give the mouse to Joey he's been killin' mice, moles and birds forever so he'd still take longer that a ferret but not quite so long as Brucey. Nah, It's not the Main source. I'm thinking the "Main" would probably be Chicken and Mice (Rats later on), Because I can get those easy peasy. The others would be Duck and Turkey (Seasonal) and Rabbit from the hunter (Hopefully). Hah, I lol'd at the ferret collection, I'm so going to have that by the time I'm 20, Lol,  He IS Hahh, Awwhh, I'm so lucky I get to look at him and cuddle with him all the time, Lol. :3 My own personal lovebug. x3 I'll get piccys up soon, He's always doing something Kodak worthy, ;D Lol. |

i'm almost 20 and i only has 2 so since i'm only a month away from being 20 im not gonna be able to get another one before i'm old. *sigh* but i wish you luck on the mousies and dont worry about not being able to drive i only got my license 3 days before my 17th birthday. and i rode the school bus untill i graduated cause i didnt have my own car or rides to and from school like all the other spoilt rich brats i went to school with. (who all drive new sports cars and such)
K just checking on the rabbit. gimme a rundown of what hes eaten today or not.
The pit we're getting is a little brindle boy. hes only 3 weeks old though so when we get him i'll get pictures.

Oh, A month is time enough! Hahh, Yeah, Hahh, I'll prolly get it 3 days before I'm 18. xD Lawl, x3 Ah, Hah, We all dislike the rich brats. >< Well, He's not eaten alot of the Thigh.. I'd say 3 peices, [give or take a nibble] would be a good assumption. It's getting into the warmer months though and I heard around the boards he'll eat less during this time. So, Mice would be a good thing to have, I think. And if he does good at killing them, I'll get him a bunch of mice to feed until the frozen ones get here. x3 Havn't ordered them yet, I want to see if he'll eat bigger mice first before I waste money on tiny little things.  Awwwwwhhh, Have you thought of any possible names yet? 83 |

Colbert's eating Pork Neck today. x3 I'm thinking.. No, Mouse day WILL be tomorrow. Later today we're going out to buy all the stuff for the Feeding Box and then tomorrow we'll pick up the poor mousie and find out if Stewart is a carnivorous beast. |

AHhhhHHhhh!! I'm SO PROUD OF MY STEWART!! Omg, Kate you should have seen him. At first he was just looking at me and trying to get out of the tub. He would sniff the mouse then just walk away. But as soon he saw the mouse scurring he zipped right for it! OMG, Watching him race around the tub was like watching Cheetas on Animal Planet. He got a hold of it in no time flat but the mouse hopped out of his grip, But then there was Stewart chasing after it again! When he grabbed a hold of it the second time a little squeaker and the mouse went to Mouise Heaven. He shook it and burried his nose in it using his fangs and then looked up at me like; "Look what I did! I did it! That was Awesome gimme another one!" Lol, Then he picked it up and carrried it around the tub showing off his kill, Nyaw, He was so proud and handsome. He tried taking it out of the tub; I wish we could have gotten the feeding box today but we didn't get to it. Grr. So he put it in a paper bag and I put the paper bag in the cage and he messed with it some, but he wasn't really hungry so we played for a bit then I put him in his cage and he messed with it some more. I'll tell ya' Bruce REALLY wanted the mouse, He actually (I can't figure out how, exactly) but he got the mouse out of the cage while we were gone and I don't know if Stewart ate off the tail and thigh of the mouse or Bruce did. I'm surprised bruce didn't engulf the whole thing. But, I put it back in there and just an hour ago heard Stewart gnawing and slurping over in his cage, Lol. Now, the mouse doesn't even look like a mouse anymore, Lol. I'm uploading pictures now. Now, he was a little clumsy with killing it, but it was he's first time, Give him a break! xD It was really awesome though, And I am IMMENSLY proud of him, <33 I can't feed him live mouse all the time, (2.89 a pop! Dx) But I'm thinking maybe once a week, or every other depending. x33 'Cause I love to watch him be all predatory. x3 GAH!!! I'm just so in love, Aw, And Omg, Stewarts like.. HUGE! Lol, I don't know if I was just comparing him to the mouse, but when I came home with the little guy I looked at Stewart and I'm like, Wow Colbert, You Big. O.O My Momma heart is going to explode,  ALRIGHT, What should I order off rodentpro? He ate a feeder mouse it wasn't very big, but I don't know what stage it was. So, should I order Hoppers, Weanlings, Adults, Large Adults, or Extra Large Adults? I can order more than one size. x3 |

Today, Stewarts eating leftover chicken thigh, and maybe tonight he'll get some chicken breast, unless he's not finished with the thigh by then.. Or he's just not hungry. Lol, ;3 He's doing fantasticly well. x3 I'm going to order the rodents off rodentpro as soon as I know what exactly to order. x3 I was Hoping I could order it today, But since you've ABANDONED me for 3 days, I'll have to wait, Lol. I hope everything is alright with you and the furkids. |

Sorry baby doll things have been SUPER hectic around here brian also has this thing about letting me on the computer i dont know why but if hes here or i'm with him i cant be on the computer and im about to strangle him after 48 hours of the all brian all the time channel. Anyways if Colbert KNOWS mice are food you should get the bigger meeses =) im not saying cut out the little ones all together (it makes things a lot easier if you have a mouse colony which i will be working on getting another one set up shortly bah.) Order whatever you think colbert will eat and I feel like a grandma but i'm so proud of Colbert too!!!! slurp slurp =) get me those photos!!!!!! K keep up the good hard work baby girl. you are doing fantastic =) the mor variety he gets the better so maybe from rodent pro i know they sell quail and chicks and bunnies maybe instead of smaller mice get rats or quail or baby chickens =) just a suggestion. Hearts and keep me updated i'm sorry i abandoned you between community service for brian doctors appointments for both of us and me getting ready to go back to work i havent been around much.. not to mention i need to find a new car to drive. i get a gm discount so i'm thinking of getting a junker untill i can find another job then i'll order a new Chevy =) i prolly wont order a new car until the camaros come out in the fall though rawwwwwwwr those is HOTTTTTTTTT hearts and love =) beeeee safe |

Woah.. NEEEEDY. Well, yeah, I can see how you would want to, xD Lol, Well It's all good, It's been SUPER hectic around here too. We're putting in wood flooring throughout the house and with my babysitting and taking care of Stewart and my pesty sisters (Love 'em ) I'm just about ready to EXPLODE. Hahh, Well, I just got back from my sitting job and I. am. so. tired. Gawsh, I need to lug my pathetic body into my uncomfortable backbraking bed. YUP, Stewart KNOWS. x3 And, Yeah, That's a great plan, Why didn't I think of it? oO Who knows, I'm crazy. Noooo, Won't be breeding the mousers, I'll just get him a live one every now and again as a little enriching treat. x3 But, Yeah, I'm going to order, Mice, Rabbits, Chicks, Quail, and Maaaybee Rats, if I have enough CASH. x3 I'm gonna' be honest and say it will take a few months, I'm thinking 4 at the most. Because all those animals will come to about $100, Of course it will last like for forever, but I need to save it up, and right now I'm saving up for the little girl I'm egtting and after about a month, give or take, i'll have enough. Than I'll start saving for the food. I'm saying 4 months, because I don't know how many sitter jobs I can get, But by the end of 4 months I should have it all. x3 So, yeah, But he has enough Chicken and Pork Neck to last him that long, and I'll even get him a mice anytime I can. x3 The Photo's Are in here -> holisticferret.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=ferretpic&action=display&thread=2830&page=1Awesome. Thankyou! Coooool-ness That is an awesome Car, Good luck with that! Lol. Have Fuun. x3 |

Alright, He's eating Chicken leg today, and I made him a hard-boiled egg, It easier for him to eat than a raw egg, Hahh, The shell is too hard for him. x3 I also gave him licks of the Tuna Shake he likes it and it's a great lurer from places he's not supposed to be, Lol.
Anywho, Things are great. I'll prolly be giving him a mouse later on in the week, if I can. x3
