Well, things are finally calming down around here. A kind vet donated his time and equipment to do ultrasounds on 9 females yesterday, so we determined that 6 of them are not pregnant. So we can start the process of vaccinating and spaying them without waiting the full 42 days of the gestation period. We have had another litter, and have 3 definite and 2 more possible pregnancies. SIGH. But the good news is that they are definitely less paranoid! We only have two problem children now as far as biting goes, one female who just had kits and one male who is older. He is getting better, but is still extremely paranoid. My father was amazed that we would be able to rehabilitate any of the adults, but they have come around so well. I've even gotten kisses from one! A big THANK YOU to Pam V. for the lovely hammocks which arrived yesterday! They are so elegant that all the ferrets will think they are royalty!
