It was bound to happen eventually.... I'm first on the waiting list at the local ferret rescue, and Illura's getting a new brother or sister! I spoke to a very nice woman named Nanette, who gets all the ferrets that come through the local Humane Society, and she'll let me know when a good match comes in (ok, that sounded really callous, all I mean is one around the age and size of Illura). She had had a 3-pound, 2 1/2 year old male, but he had a reputation for being a bully, and Illura is tiny and a bit of a wimp. So for the time being I'm waiting by the phone with baited breath. Also, I'll be completely new at the multiple-ferret thing, so any tips on how to introduce two ferrets to each other would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance, Rachel, Illura, and soon to be one more! [Posted in FML issue 3047]
