Went to TSC this evening to pick up a few bags of wood stove pellets. Cashier has two ferrets and is leaving I guess Tuesday for the Army, Navy, or Marines. I can't remember which. Anyway he has two female ferrets that are about two and a half years old. He has had them about a year. He seems to love them to death, but can't keep them once he leaves. He says they are very friendly. He has them in separate cages at this time because he came home last night and found one of the ferrets face down in the litter box. She won't eat anything. She barely moves. He uses regular ferret litter and has never even heard of giving them hairball so obviously they never got any of that. I am not sure what he has been feeding them because I forgot to ask, but he assured me he hasn't switched foods on them. He says she drinks, but is down to only bones. He thinks she is near death. His fianci has agreed to keep them a day or two past Tuesday, but that is about it. He gave me permission to post his phone number, name, and situation. I can only pray that someone jumps in to help these two little ferrets. I do not have the means, time, or room to take any ferrets in. I only hope someone has the extra heart to take in these two. He didn't say what he would do with them if he got stuck with them past Tuesday, but I assume from our conversation that they would go to the local dog pound to be put down. His name is Mark and her name is Shannon. They live in Urbana, Ohio and their phone number is (937) 652-4889. If someone reads this and takes in these ferrets please post on the FML so that everyone including myself will know and can sleep easier. Thanks. [FP] [Posted in FML issue 3295]
