OK! I called the shelter, and the Glasgows figured up Rockies age for me. They rescued the poor little dear when he was delivered to a pet store too young and with pneumonia. He barely had teeth, his eyes were shut, and he was reported to just fit in the palm of your hand. He was so young, they estimate he could not have possibley been a day over 4 weeks old as hard as that is to believe. Ok the crazy thing is .... Rocky is now much larger than my two other male ferrets that are 7 months old!!!!! He is this huge baby, with baby fat, baby loose skin, baby coodination, etc.. His whiskers are finally now just growing nice! Awe da baaaaby! Ok so back on topic here... if you recall, Sean needed to know Rockies birthday, and if he could have "ferret cake". I got wonderful responses to the ferret cake dilemna. In fact I got so many responses, I could litterally make a website with all the recipies they are so wonderful. Drum roll please........ Rockies birthday is.............. December 15! Sean is so happy to have a "number" with his autism. But then he quickly got very sad because he realized how far off that day is. So miss brainiac here (me) came up with the idea that we could just celebrate the 15th of every month. Sean is estactic. Right away... his mouth was running, "I can buy him presents. I can buy him toys? I will get him toys OH BOY!.............. " heeeeelp!
