Feeding

- Raw food in the mornings and kibble in the evenings.

Identifying Banzai and Fuji

- Fuji has white fur, Banzai has darker fur.

Approaching

- When approaching the ferrets be slow, as they might run away if you are too fast.

Handling

• Fuji likes her stretches: place thumbs beneath her forefeet and push back, when she pushes back that's how you know to stop.
• Whilst Banzai and Fuji are eating Banzai might try and run off with the food. You can spot this if he has his head over the counter on the edge of the table top. If he jumps off and runs do not panic. You will be able to find him underneath the cabinet in the living room, a lot of the time he leaves his tail hanging out, to retrieve him lightly pull on his tail until you can grab his body.
