The school has recently taken two ferrets into care. Find out more about them here from our expert team of ferret handlers: Charlotte Raymond, Jessica Ruane, John Aguila, Jamie Jackson and Daniel Reed.
Where do they come from?
Charlotte and her father have been rescuing unwanted ferrets for the last two years now. The Nicky B ferrets were donated to the school by her family. They were from a batch of 22 unwanted ferrets! The 'pole-cat' is called 'Houdini' and the pale one is called 'Jack Frost.'
Where are they kept?
In the Greenhouse.
Why are you the official ferret handlers?
Because we're extremely cool.
What does it involve?
We give them daily exercise, feed them and cater for their every need.
Can we have a picture of you holding him?
Yes
What do they eat?
They're carnivores so will eat ferret pellets, ham and other bits of meat.
What are their best features?
The white one has lovely eyes and is a cuddly kind of ferret. Houdini really likes escaping and running through the pipe. He is also very food orientated. Apparently you can get silver ferrets but they cost a lot of money because they're extremely rare. Boy ferrets are called Hobbs and girl ferrets are called Jills.
