A friend of mine's step father recently found an albino male ferret
wandering around a motorcycle warehouse 2 days ago.  After about 30
minutes of chasing they finally caught the big fuzzy and brought him
home.  Then about an hour later I get a phone call from Amanda
tentatively asking me if I wanted another ferret (aside from my lovely
little Jinx.)  After about a considerable amount of time of thinking it
over ( 0.3 seconds) I happy agreed.  However, when I got there, I could
visibly see he was over-run by fleas.  By the time I got him to his new
home and in the bath, I was almost to tears by how bad the case was.  He
was covered in them!  After painstakingly removing as many as I could (I
was afriad he was going to catch a little ferret cold, the last thing he
needs) I covered him in a towel whilst he had his own little episode in
his new cage.  The vet's apointment is on Monday and until then he is
enjoying his new life centered in my living room.
 
I was just writting to mention that Napoleon is happy now and that I'm
never going to give him back due to the negligence of his former owner
(still angry!!!  sorry!!)
