I stopped at the PET CLUB on the way home, and played with the babies
there. And also the two big ones they are trying to sell. One is a
female about the size of Byte-me, and is a grey color, like a silver
fox. a stunning color and stunning looking ferret. If they give them
to me as a rescue deal as I proposed to them, will be great. I dont need
more ferrets, but those two would be welcome for sure.
I didn t know a thing about them when I bought Byte-me. Just wanted one
for years. Finally, just put myself to task to get one. A few weeks
earlier, I bought a bag of kibble and bits as food for a prospective
ferret, and learned that was not good. So, gave that to a neighbor with
a dog...
When I got Byte-me, she was only about 6 weeks old. Just a kit. Had no
cage, nothing. Bought a large rabbit cage and started with that. Got some
ferret stuff in a kit from the Ferret store, hammock, water bottle and
all... and I bought another rabbit cage, and made a two story affair, and
later got a third so have a huge cage. Made several extra floors, tunnels
inside it, balconys and all kinds of things. Got all kinds of different
hammocks.. they are in the taj mahal!
THen, made a wood frame and put castors on the bottom. That way I can roll
it about. Lately have added extra doors and all so I can get to things
easier.
Soooo, have come to know a ferret quite well. Was a learning experience
for me, and a job to ferret proof the house. Still have things to do as
they find them.. ha! I love those little creatures. Lots of fun they
are, always doing something to make ya laugh.
Byte-me continues to behave with no ill effects of her incident. I just
cannot imagine how she survived. Have no idea how she lived thru that. If
I had spent even another minute here at the puter, she would not have made
it. For all intent, when I picked her up off the floor from under the
couch edge, she was dead. Fully dead, not breathing, eyes open, glassy.
What brought her back is beyond me. Again, I am sooo thankful to have her
with me, and am soo sorry for my lack of attention.
