>
>I run a small hedgehog rescue in Newark, DE, called Hedgehogs Halfway
>Home.  I am in regular contact with the wildlife rehabilitators in the
>area, as they frequently have hedgehogs and other exotic pets abandoned
>there when the owners tire of them.  I have taken in and placed hedgehogs,
>chinchillas, cavies, gerbils, and hamsters as the rehabbers don't have
>the time, space, or funds to keep discarded pets.
>
>One of the rehabbers recently got three ferrets dropped off, and I took
>them off her hands but do not really know anything about them.  They are
>spayed, descented females, and have been together for their entire lives.
>I was told they are three and a half years old.  I have had them for
>almost a week, and, while I know that isn't very long, I'd like to find a
>placement for them where they can stay together.  I have emailed the
>Baltimore Ferret Club with no response, and am now looking elsewhere.  I
>know that shelter space is hard to come by and would rather keep them than
>to put them in an already- overcrowded shelter situation.  But ferrets
>really aren't my thing (although these three are very social and I have
>not been bitten at all yet!).
>
>Is anyone in the area able to adopt these ferrets?
>
>Thanks very much-
