It has been a long time since I have posted, many many things going on in
my life, 2 yrs ago I moved from Iowa to MN and a yr later had my first
episode of Mania which has turned my life upside down, got a divorce and
now my mom has been diagnosed with terminal renal cancer and since my dad
is 74 I have to go home to help him with my mom.  The biggest problem is
that he wont let me bring my ferrets and I will be needing to find the
right home for them and they are all 5 special needs ferrets.  Three are
Fredonia babies, one from a pound and one given because a co worker was
moving and couldn't keep him.  They would have to go with their respective
cagemates, two in one bunch and three in the other, because changing owners
will be very stressful for them.  Athena is my most special needs, she has
insulinoma and must be feed every 8 to 10 hrs without fail.  She will not
eat ferret food and must be hand feed (I think she just enjoys the cuddle
time) or she will not eat.  She gets a steroid medication 2 times a day and
doesn't move around very well and I think she is nearly blind but she loves
being held and cuddled.  I worry about her the most - she is a Fredonia
baby.  Ulysses is my next special needs he also has insulinoma tho he does
eat on his own and only needs special food twice a day for his meds, but he
can't always hold food down because of a panceatic tumor that has attached
itself to his stomach :{ , my vet said surgery wasn't an option to just
love him for whatever time he has left, he is also a Fredonia baby.  If you
are interested or have questions about any of the others please email me,
this is breaking my heart.  None are biters, all love to be loved on.
 
Thank you,
