Never thought I’d find soggy ferrets cute.

Love the escapee at the front, you can almost hear him thinking “Peweee. Wet ferret smell, let me outa here!”

4 Metz 05.11.07 at 3:19 pm

OMG! Will the cuteness never end?

5 chele 05.11.07 at 3:19 pm

Boy those babies needed a bath, look a that water! I vote for a rinse before the soup is finished!

6 ceejoe 05.11.07 at 3:22 pm

omg, five ferrets in a bath, lol..

7 SpinKitty 05.11.07 at 3:22 pm

Does bathing them help improve the smell any? If so, bring on the soap!

8 SarahP 05.11.07 at 3:25 pm

Ooooohh, WANT!!!

9 SarahP 05.11.07 at 3:27 pm

…and perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised, but that water looks filthy!

10 Tiberia 05.11.07 at 3:28 pm

Water weasels!

11 The Honourable Gladys Anstruther 05.11.07 at 3:33 pm

13 michellemybelle 05.11.07 at 3:53 pm

Wow, I didn’t know they swam in schools!

14 AuntieMame 05.11.07 at 3:54 pm

Eww! I hope they strain and clarify that broth before they use it.

15 leah 05.11.07 at 3:57 pm

How many towels does it take to dry five ferrets ask mr owl he will tell you ????? LOL

16 SarahR 05.11.07 at 4:01 pm

High density BEF!

17 newmoonpie 05.11.07 at 4:01 pm

you couldn’t pay me enough to clean out that tub when those ferrets are done tubbin’. yuuuck.

18 Susie 05.11.07 at 4:11 pm

Leah,
Sometimes your comments freak me out cuz you sound just like my friend who’s name is Leah. We call her Koala.

19 montana gramma 05.11.07 at 4:13 pm

reminds me of my ferritte’, “Weezelle” she was a wee’wee’french type girl and a great dancer! Played in the Royal Courts of Europe for many years…she passed on just before she was to be knighted by the Queen. Dame “Weezelle” would have looked smashing on her marker!!! I’ve heard that she will reincarnate as the next Dalai Lama….

20 mynameisjonas 05.11.07 at 4:14 pm

Mr. comboverpants looks like a loch ness monster!

21 Snowpea 05.11.07 at 4:18 pm

As a French speaker, it iz my devoir to say that the ‘la’ in ze title does not require ze accent grave az it iz an article, not an adverb!

I will haf ze soupe for starters, je vous prie.

22 luvinmalssomuch 05.11.07 at 4:20 pm

Alright which of us is going to be the guinea pig and taste this soup.

23 Gal Josefsberg 05.11.07 at 4:25 pm

Is the one in the back an albino ferret? His fur is very light colored but his eyes are black.

24 Pheas 05.11.07 at 4:29 pm

Hmm…soap plus ferret dirt…NO SOUP FOR ME!

Still dern cute, though.

25 Golden 05.11.07 at 4:35 pm

Water-dancing Ferrets! They just need lil swim caps.

26 Golden 05.11.07 at 4:36 pm

haaha.. Murky Mcferretsons..i just noticed the ‘mouse over’ text… or should I say ‘ferret over’?

27 Laura 05.11.07 at 4:39 pm

They’re practicing for their synchronized ferret swimming debut! Esther Williams would no doubt approve.

28 Loris 05.11.07 at 4:42 pm

I just love it that you have decided to classify them as fishes! Ferretfishes! Even cuter than ferets and fishes put together.

29 Theo 05.11.07 at 4:47 pm

Loris — GOLD STAR for being the first to notice (and to say so)!

30 tarayith 05.11.07 at 4:48 pm

Hee :) I love the one making a bid for freedom!

31 Jules 05.11.07 at 4:51 pm

The real question is, how many people does it take to towel off 5 ferrets after a bath? I have enough trouble with toddlers!

32 Shannon Johnson 05.11.07 at 4:55 pm

Those little ferrets are so funny. I love them so much.

33 Redzilla 05.11.07 at 5:06 pm

Look out “barrel full of monkeys”! You got some competish from “bathtub full of ferreeeets.”

34 Loris 05.11.07 at 6:05 pm

Tee hee! And thank *you*, Theo, for posting one of the rainforest canopy’s goofier sources of cuteness. We may not be the fastest prosimians on the block, but we do like our C.O., yes indeed.

That reminds me of that underground catacomb scene in the last Indiana Jones movie. Is that tub full of petroleum?

36 cutebabyfix.com 05.11.07 at 6:29 pm

Must pay my monies, say “ferret soup please” in a clear firm voice, move to the left expeditiously, and remember not to complain about the bread this time…

37 Ariel 05.11.07 at 6:48 pm

I miss my ferrets!

38 chelonianmobile 05.11.07 at 7:01 pm

“Mercy, yer honour. That stuff’s water – it’s all wet!”

39 Shaina 05.11.07 at 7:38 pm

Madly, madly in love with the water weasels!

40 zosterops 05.11.07 at 8:02 pm

somehow…. that ferret situation…. seems out of control…

41 Emilia 05.11.07 at 8:04 pm

ver ver cute.

the one in front is all

“es-ka-pay!!!”

no, washing ferrets actually makes the smell worse for a little while because their bodies release their musk to compensate for the newfound cleanliness…

and the one in back isnt an albino, he’s a dark-eyed white or black eyed white. the most beautiful in imho :)

42 belphebe 05.11.07 at 8:23 pm

The best part of drying ferrets is watching them run around drying themselves off, trying to get their scent back. Sure, you towel dry them as much as you can until they squirm out of your hands. At that point, you stand back and watch as they roll around, burrow under the towel or any other soft stuff, and run around like crazy.

Hmmm, I have a boring weekend ahead of me. Maybe I’ll bathe my ferrets.

43 hrh.squeak 05.11.07 at 8:24 pm

Loves me all the leetle fereete hairdos. Rawkin’ the Mohawk!

44 Noelegy 05.11.07 at 9:32 pm

LOL, Belphebe!

I just sent the permalink for this entry to my husband with the comment “It could be worse…” (we only have three ferrets)

45 iristeddy 05.11.07 at 10:08 pm

what about mr./mrs. albino ferret? where’s the love?

46 oaklandcat 05.12.07 at 12:03 am

cutebabyfix: “NO SOUP FOR YOU!” ;)

47 Nyx 05.12.07 at 1:12 am

Aww… I could never bathe my 3 all at the same time. They’d probably build a ladder out of their bodies and escape from the tub and overrun me.

Ferrets don’t really need bathing much anyway since the litter box is what really stinks. The only time you can really smell them is if you give them lots of shnorgles or their bellies. *squish*

48 Lisa 05.12.07 at 1:30 am

Ah ha! Ferrets have nosicles too! Hedgies- you’ve got competish.

49 mute 05.12.07 at 2:30 am

Oulala! What is this accent doing on the “la”? And a furet is male gendered grammatically speaking.

-> Soupe au furet! XD

This is not mignon at all monsieur, watch your language! :p

50 kel13123 05.12.07 at 4:06 am

this many ferrets should be illegal!!! seriously, its just too much cute to fit inside one brain. really Meg, you don’t want us all to ’splode from the cuteness do you??

51 brownamazon 05.12.07 at 4:09 am

They must be the extras from The Big Lebowski: “hey man, nice marmot…”

52 useta hada kitteh 05.12.07 at 4:29 am

Da soup she’s boilink over, and da meat’s excapin’ over da side!

I knew I was a real COer the other day when I walked past a pet shop (no, I didn’t approve of the petshop’s ways, but let’s not get into that…) any way, I saw some little Ferret McFerretsons in a display, and thought “Ferreeeeeets!” Who’d ‘a’ thunk it? Me, squeein’ over ferreeeeets.

53 Alex Wells 05.12.07 at 6:02 am

WTF? Why U Wash Us?

54 Subhangi 05.12.07 at 7:38 am

“Waiter, there’s a ferret in my soup!”

“Oh no, I’m so sorry! I’ll-”

“Can I have some more?”

55 Espilonarge 05.12.07 at 8:48 am

Rubba-dub-dub, five ferrets in a tub. XD

56 anner 05.12.07 at 2:29 pm

i love 9 o’clock’s mischievious little face!

57 Norty 05.12.07 at 2:57 pm

Waiter, I’ll have what subhangi’s got!

58 lily 05.12.07 at 4:07 pm

(and some salt maybe…)

59 Brethil 05.12.07 at 4:47 pm

Didn’t anyone else notice Mr. Three O’clock and his “I’m outta here, later doods” -look???

Or should I say “I’m otter here” ;) *runs for cover*

60 eviless 05.12.07 at 5:46 pm
