RIP little buddy.
Ferrets are awesome.

Many thanks, and very much agreed.

this makes me undook that the handsome boy left us <_> pass on extra lovings for the others, cuz they'll know he's gone for sure. (my guinea pigs always did that when we lost one, and i know other caged critters do such too)

I ceratinly will. I have two left now: Caramon (my male) & Nibbler (my female). And yes, they do most definitely know. They're getting a LOT of extra attention now. (And they're free-roaming, btw.) Thank you so much, Kuntos. *hugs*

*licks* keep yer chin up. they'll do such too :) if need to take them by where ya bury their sibling. it'll help them heal as it will you^^ (assuming ya buried them that is)

and free roamers=happy dookers :D hehe

Yes, all 3 are buried pretty close to each other in my yard. (I call it the back yard, but he calls it the front. Either way, it's a yard.)
I try to wait until at least a few months have passed before taking them to the gravesite. It's bad enough they keep sleeping where Dimitri spent most of his time (under the couch) just to get his smell; I'd really rather not have them be trying to dig him up to find out why he smells the way he must now. I'll let the mourning time pass first, then let them explore the area again. Maybe by then I can have the roses planted & blooming.

hehe, he'll be fertilizing them even in death, eh ;) *morbid humor*

family oriented creatures take a while to heal, and some don't. but the ones that do are always eager to rear and bond with newcomers. from my experience at least. :3 (how all of my pets always reacted at least :P)

hope your cuties keep active despite their pain :)
