First of all I would like to thank everyone that emailed me and offered help with the shelter! Any help is greatly appreciated! :-) Second....I need to announce that in the last few days I have had two ferrets turned over to me that were found here in Blacksburg. One of them was found almost three weeks ago, but the owner was never found. The second ferret was found yesterday morning near some townhouses. She is thin and looks quite young, but is otherwise healthy and eating. I haven't seen her act like a ferret yet....all she's done since she got here is eat and sleep. Poor thing was worn out! If anyone on this list knows of someone that has lost a ferret recently in Blacksburg, please email me!!! If I haven't heard from the owners by 7/20/00, I will assume that the owners no longer wanted them and they will both be available for adoption. >I have an attack ferret named Chocolate. She is cute and playful most of >the time but if someone other than me squeaks a certain toy she turns into >a demon. Don't worry, you're not alone!! I have two ferrets that react the same way to squeaky toys. Some ferrets just can't stand certain noises or smells and the only way that they know to react is to bite whoever or whatever is causing it. My best advice is to throw away the squeaky toys! That's what I had to do!! Good luck! Kim Sharp NRV Exotic Animal Rescue/Shelter http://www.geocities.com/nrvexotics/ [Posted in FML issue 3112]
