Good Morning Amy,
 
Kudos to you my dear on your rescue of the little girl.  Does she have a
name yet?  Funny how people deem these little "bandits" biters, etc.  I
have come across so many people and through them meeting our kids they
sure have changed their attitudes abour ferrets.  I have found that some
people just don't care for their antics but will hold and ooo and ahhh
over ours.  One girl said ewwweee I don't like how they crawl all on me.
Well that is the best part :-).  So many people that have heard that we
have a deaf ferret who was a major biter say things like....ahh it is good
you got him, someone else might have got him and had him put to sleep or
ahhh what would have happened to him, maybe abuse.  I can't believe that
anyone would even think of having a deaf ferret put to sleep.  I even had
one person ask me if I was going to return him to the pet store and get
my money back.  I said first of all they don't do that and second of all
would you give your child back if they were deaf or give them up for
adoption?  The person just walked away from me.  Our little Ariel may not
be able to hear but he is so much fun and with the help of his sister and
brothers he has adapted as well as any other ferret.  He doesn't bite
anymore and in fact he was only here a week when he stopped it.  He was
only about 6 weeks old when he came home to us and really laid into my
finger the first night in the store but we knew he was supposed to come to
us.  Every once in awhile he gets a little nuts with his brothers when he
is playing like last night and grasped hold of my husband's wrist through
is shirt and would not let go.  We just held him up so he could see our
face and explained to him no and he stopped.  It is sad that people get
these animals and are so misinformed about them.  Thanks again for taking
the time to get this little girl out of her environment and save her life.
 
Kudos to you
Love & angel hugs
Debbie
