What a title. Welcome to Ferret Paradigm! From now on all episodes will be new and will be branded with Ferret Paradigm instead of Fauna Paradigm. The gorgeous cover art was by https://www.moto.red .
This episode covers my life updates (including games I'm playing and books I'm reading) as well as updates on my ferrets, including some sad health news for Trixie. I also read out an email from my friend Jill who had 38 unexpected kits due to failed vasectomied hobs! One of her babies was/is very unique.

Stolen Our Hearts is my website, it has links to the membership program, the Facebook page, the Instagram and Tiktok, the mailing list and some additional show notes which will be added to eventually I promise. You can also find the 3D printing links for my 1:12 ferret prints.

If you would like to email me, the email address is stolenourheartspodcast@gmail.com I did say it wrong once in the episode.

Fauna Paradigm is my other podcast, come and listen. The newest episode is about Sydney the Squirrel. Sydney is a disabled squirrel living his best life with his Dad. Then soon will be What's The Deal With Animals, Exotic Pet Facts, Roof Rats as pets, Keeping worms inside, another grief episode and an episode about how rat advice has changed lately.

I answer the questions about ferrets from an 11 year old animal lover, Nova. We discuss insulinoma, caging, food, biting, grieving and more!

I speak again with the delightful Matty, the author of My Name is Musky, A Ferret's Story. Musky has been honoured by the state of New Jersey, listen to find out all about it! We also talk about ferret care, ferret health care funding/charity, the book, life as a celebrity ferret and about which toys Musky and Stubby prefer.

This is the second episode I've done with Musky (and Matty) and it's just so exciting.

I speak with Laura from Manchester about her 84, yes that's right, 84 ferrets, including sables, angoras and micro ferrets. She has a ferretry and breeds ferrets, under the name The Guild of Calamitous Intent Ferretry.

We talk about how she got into it and why, what ferrets 'do' for her, breeders and how to be a good breeder, different kinds of ferrets, and what it's like to have so many!

I speak with Kevin Ringstaff from https://petcloud.pet/ about how to deal with the grief of losing a pet. So many of my friends have been dealing with this lately, and I thought talking with someone about it would help. Kevin chooses to spend his days talking about grief and pets and educating people on how to support themselves and others through the sad times that are inevitable. He is so kind and good to talk to, and actually runs support programs for people- for free! He also has a membership program that looks very valuable.

"Through my studies and counseling over the years, I’ve learned quite a lot about grief. It’s safe to say that as a society, we all have a tendency to hold on to grief. It’s awkward and uncomfortable to talk about. We feel like we might be judged especially if we tell other people how much we are hurting because of our losses."

https://compassionfatigueandburnout.org/ He also runs workshops for professionals who deal with death on a regular basis, for example veterinarians, frontline workers, mortuary workers, crematory workers (humans and animals).

I'm thrilled to offer this episode to you, and tell you about these services.

If you enjoyed this episode, make sure you check out Fauna Paradigm

Fauna Paradigm is about all sorts of exotic pets (pets you need a special vet for). Ferret Paradigm is obviously about ferrets, though this episode is great for anyone who has lost any species of pet.
