I wanted to let you all know that I found a carpet chark listed in the local paper for $30.00 and it included a very nice cage. I figured something had to be wrong with it so I checked it out. She is about 5 yrs old and had fleas to where some of her fur was blochy and she acted like she didnt get much attention. I bought her immediatly. After a flea bath and an ear cleaning(the nail cliiping comes into play tomorrow) she is very playful and happy. I even heard a "dook" out of her. I thought there may be some problems with her being an only ferret being introduced tomy 2 babies (8 weeks old each) but Daria fit in with Koto and Ethan like a big sister! They are all doing wonderfully and she looks so much better than she did. I just wanted to announce that this was my first rescue :) Melissa...and her carpet sharks...Ethan, Koto , and Daria [Posted in FML issue 3345]
