TubularBelle
They hold the instruments so perfectly, even if upside down! Are you prepared to reveal any secrets? How many hours does it take you to get a shot like this????
Ellen replied
Most of the times it takes an hour. Because i take a lot of photo’s and always hope there is one that is o.k.
Thanks so much!
TubularBelle
Are these rats bigger or smaller than common rats, what is the breed called again? If I did not have ferrets, these would be my pet of choice.
Ellen replied
I think they are much smaller, this is a dumbo-rex-rat. (rex because of the curly hair)
I have never had ferrets….are they easy to keep?

Steve Buffington
I am just reading about the American revolution. Did you know a drummer and flute player are kind of symbols of America’s freedom? That is what this little guy reminds me of. And no, I missed the flute being upside down. Wow, does that give away he really does NOT know what he is doing! LOL.—Steve
Ellen replied
:)) You are right….he doesnt!
I didnt know about the symbols of freedom, thanks for ssharing.
And thanks for your original comment!

from Ellen – I have never had ferrets….are they easy to keep?
Ferrets are less work than a dog but more work than a rabbit or guinea pig. They sleep up to 20 hours a day so can be happily kept in a cage with only a few hours out to play and run about morning and night. I don’t think they should be kept outside, they need human contact and just a joy to watch them play and interact with other pets in the house. They can be taught tricks and can walk on a lead and come when they are called, they are smarter than dogs.
Ellen replied
I didnt know they were so smart! Thanks for your answer…..maybe i should buy a ferret :)
kilmann
A wonderful pose, so cute. For the moment, I will do with my dog, even if she don’t play flute, but may be later on…!
Ellen replied
Thnak you so much Kilmann! I would love to have a dog one day too.

Mark Elshout
The paw positions for this flute are amazing. Does he really stand there and hold this while you photograph? Or is he stuffed?? Or drugged? By the way the upside down flute just adds to the charm.
Ellen replied
It is all real, I only like real things :)
The animals are all alive on the photo. I do use a little trick, but thats my secret :) One thing I use is food.
Thanks again!
Nanagahma
This really is cute. You are very creative! :-)
