Hello everyone, Well its been an up and down month here. For financial reasons we are moving in with family in Idaho...the bummer part being that we have to go without our babies. After a lot of phone calls and frustration we were able to find homes for all but one of our children...that would be the down part. It was heartbreaking to part with my beloved fur kids but they all went into loving homes. Then today the best part happened...they decided that we could bring the remaining ferret with us!!! Joy of joys!!! I'm really glad I didn't have to pick which one of them I got to keep...I couldn't have done it. Now to my questions....one of the reasons that we couldn't find a home for Dhugal is because he is not descented and while our family is willing to let him come with us in spite of this, we believe it would help keep peace in the house if he was descented. He is also extremely agressive to other ferrets so finding him a home where they could guarantee that he would always be a single ferret also proved to be difficult. They have a cat and while Dhugal rarely poofs when playing with humans, with animals its another story! So question number one, what are the pros and cons of getting a ferret descented later in life? Is it even possible? We don't know his true age but his estimated age is 3. Second question, we will be needing a vet in our new hometown (or near it). We will be near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho so if anyone has any recommendations on a knowledgeable vet I would really appreciate it. I did a search today and unfortunately came up blank with any vets besides in the Boise area which is clearly out of question. There is a vet in town, but considering the area I'd be pretty darn sure they specialize in livestock. Since we are in the finishing stages of packing I'd appreciate if anyone with any information would reply off list to me....I'm mostly skimming email these days....so much to do so little time. Moving date is November 21st and incidently if anyone is in need of a ferret transport anywhere from Eugene, Oregon to Couer d'Alene Idaho give me a holler. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies! Cross your fingers for us on the drive...I hear its snow snow snow snow snow! Can't wait to take Dhugy out to play in it once we get there!! Carrie [Posted in FML issue 3234]
