Good Evening Everyone, Ok I know you all warned me about "Ferret Math" but hey it could not happen to me my house was already full but I just knew in my heart that even with 2 boys we wanted a little girl. I love my boys who have only been with us a little over 2 mo now and have grown into big boys. We have waited 3 weeks now for our pet store to get in the new arrivals and tonight they did. We went to get our little girl and there were 2 little boys that were just crying to come home with us. We held each one knowing that we would take the little girl who we named Maggie. I could not bear for little Maggie to be alone in her cage until she grew a bit more so we thought why not get another one. Well the dilema was that the other little one would be left alone or someone would buy him and put him in a cage alone. I could not bear it. I talked my husband into letting me get the 3 kits. They are only about 6-7 weeks old which broke my heart since our other guys were 2 & 2 1/2 mo when we brought them home. Heck they were even big enough to have their nails trimmed before we brought them home. I understand now what people were saying about the breeders turning kits out so young. Heck these little ones are still trying to suckel. We named them Ariel, Raphael & Maggie. My husband wanted to name them after the Archangels. So now we have Michael, Gabriel, Ariel & Raphael and their little sister Maggie. Michael and Gabriel really like them and are so curious. I am glad that they are still young enough to accept them. I still can't believe we left with 3. They are so precious. Ariel gave us a little scare eating a newspaper(Yesterday's News) litter pellet. When I went to get it out of his mouth he bit me. I know he didn't mean it. He did spit it up. Will he pass it through? He did eat, drink and poop after that. He seemed really tired so I held him for the longest time but he was active when I put him back down. I just didn't realize how little these guys are when they put them out for sale. I know we were supposed to have them. I know I hear everyone ready to yell at me saying that I should have adopted and not have supported MF by buying 3 more of their ferrets but when you see them there and they are screaming to go home with you what can you do :-). They have their own bedroom to romp in but the little ones will be caged until they can grow a bit. Maybe we bit off more than we can handle but God never gives us more than we can handle and for some reason he has given us 3 little babies to take care of and I promise that they will never want for anything. We are at our max now but I know we can love and care for them. Love & angel hugs Debbie [Posted in FML issue 3622]
