"You ain't the boss of me"!
Loki
Loki belongs to Sean. Loki is a very nervous hob and it has taken a lot of time and patience to help him relax.
He was a challenge from the first day we got him as he loves to explore. Hence the damage to our flat!
He has the ability to play, jump, escape, run and hide like no other.

Broken Tooth
As a result of Loki's adventurous behaviour, he broke his front canine. Loki did not complain, he did not make any noises to suggest he was in pain. I only noticed him pawing at his face when he was eating. The vet discovered the problem and he required surgery the next day. Loki is able to rattle open door and this resulted in him escaping. He went missing for 4 days. We are very grateful to the lady who looked after him for this period of time. Upon inspection from our vet he had been bitten by a cat and had fleas.

Loki is our champion ferret who is currently being treated for insulinoma and adrenal disease. We are working closely with Parker and Crowther Daleside, our local vet to ensure he receives the best treatment and after care.

We sadly had to have Loki put to sleep as he was struggling to eat, drink and poop. Rest in peace little man. We love you so much!
