aka "Mr. Beary With the Cinnamon Hair-y" ...

Bear is Bandit's litter-brother. They do not look much alike at first glance, but the expressions on their ferrety faces reveal the kinship.

He USED to hold the title of the Wildest Extreme Weezil. However, he has been acting a bit strange lately. Bear has been almost docile and even downright afraid of something. We don't know what! It is possible that the cats, who are getting too bold for their own good, have been terrorizing him to get back at him from earlier attacks when he was a kit ...

... the only one of our six ferrets that does not change much from season to season, although he gets a bit thick and solid around the middle, like a cord of rope.

... wiry, wiley, and is usually the most fun to play with in the mornings. Bear will run up to you from out of nowhere, jump up on your leg with his front paws hugging you, then he quickly lets go and wardances away, dooking and hee-heeing happily.

Bear's absolute favorite game is playing soccer with the PetCo ping-pong balls, the matte color and NOT the shiny ones! You know, the ones that make that noise when they roll ... like a roulette wheel. Bear has dozens of these balls that we have purchased for him, and runs up, down, and all around the tubes chasing, pulling, and hugging his little toys. Cute, yes?
