Classroom Pets

CHESSY the FERRET by: Rachel Chessy is a female ferret. She is a combination of black, brown, orange, and white. She is very active and flexible. Her favorite way to be held is like a baby. Chessy's favorite thing to do is sleep in her little hammock that is attached to the top of her cage. She is so cute and loveable. Chessy loves to give you kisses (sometimes they are a little sloppy). She can tear up a desk in 2.2 seconds trying to dig her way out of it. Chessy likes to be the center of attention. If Chessy is tired she will go to sleep wherever she is. If she gets mad or scared she will flip out and run around like crazy. She is one of my favorite classroom pets.

Tornado may frighten some people because she is a lizard, but she is very loving and wouldn't harm a fly unless she was eating it. I love Tornado. She is one of my favorite classroom pets.
