-: I was feeling like I wanted some companionship
in my block, as I was thinking that a stoat ran
across the road and that's when I thought,
something like a ferret would be
a perfect, perfect animal.
There was a ferret sanctuary the other side
of the wire at Conningsby and I went there
and started looking at their ferrets
and saw this little guy knocking over plant pots
and things like that and I thought,
that's the one, that's the guy for me.
So I chose the name Bandit because I mean look at him,
he just looks like a little bandit.
He's got a little Zorro mask on him
and he steals things and he hides things in places,
so yeah, he was the bandit from the beginning.
