Personality
Bruce is an energetic ferret who eats a healthy diet of selected fruits and vegetables and is a small athlete, like his owner. He likes to go at his own pace and doesn't apologize for doing things his own way. He prefers a relaxing atmosphere when he's not competing for attention. If only Indigo Zap would let him hibernate sometimes!

Indigo Zap assumed the little ferret known as Bruce would be athletic and energetic as her, and could always be as sporty as she was—until he began to play catch and run in his own exercise wheel, which had surprised Indigo what he can do best! Now she's proud to call him her pet!

Bruce, like the other pets, is first introduced in Animal Reception as Indigo Zap's selected pet. He can be seen in the background running on a treadmill or his exercise wheel in some episodes he appears in. In Bruce's first major role, The Great Ferret Race, he is selected to compete and be in a race with other ferrets to see who can get to the finish line first. He also appears in Canine Romance as he and the other pets help India's romantic relationship with Thunderbass's dog, Rocket.

Trivia
