Dart came in with 2 other ferrets, Cassidy and Angel. All 3 had good
dispositions and worked as education ferrets. Cassady passed at age 6
and Angel is still with us. Dart was a little petstore silver mitt with
a wannabe blaze. Dart was retired when his health began to fail. First
an enlarged spleen, then adrenal, and finally insulinoma. His health
eventually failed and he was helped to the Rainbow Bridge at an
extimated age of 4.

Ceili was another education ferret. She came in unsocilized and a
biter. She eventually gave up her biter ways and turned into a
wonderful education ferret. For 4 years she helped us at pet stores and
street festivals. Ceili first had adrenal and then insulinoma. She was
half bald, always the first to the door when it opened wanting out and
was still playing to the end. She passed in her sleep two days ago at
age 6.

Draco was an unreedemable biter. He never gave up his wicked ways. He
could be managed with treats and did just fine with other ferrets.
First he had adrenal, I suspect insulinoma toward the end. Months
earlier he was put on duck soup. That was all he would eat. 3 weeks
ago he quit playing with his toys. 4 days ago he quit eating for good.
He had been alternating between eating and not eating over the last 2
weeks. He was helped to the Rainbow Bridge.

I will miss all of them.
