A person on one the dog rescue lists I'm on had a call about a ferret turn in and needed info - I passed some on and this is her reply. Thanks for that advice. I'm not going to foster. If I brought it home, my kids would never let it leave; and I don't need another "critter". The owner will keep it until it is placed or in another rescue. She said that it is a very fussy eater. The only thing that she has found that it will eat is one type of dry cereal and one flavor of baby food meat. So I would think that it isn't getting a balanced diet. She said that it went for 3 days without eating before she found this and it won't take anything else. It also has the run of the neighborhood in the warm weather and scratches on her screen door when it wants to come in. I don't think that is particularly safe for the little guy. It likes dogs, but not all dogs like ferrets. The run of the neighborhood? Holy Cow! Mary in MI [Posted in FML issue 2962]
