Sarah, the Utah ferrets are/were a LARGE group of ferrets taken away from a *collector* by Animal Control in Layton, Utah. Many people from shelters across the country (julie Fossa came from Ohio!) helped to get these kids out of there. Some were in such bad shape they didn't make it, others needed surgery, most all needed good food, exercise, and most of all love and attention. The ferret community, led by TL Eckart & the wonderful people at Support Our Shelters, made it possible to save these guys. Without their help I would have been overcome by the 18 I got, both mentally & financially. Kouri has a few pages on his web site with pics of some of these kids. We love them all.
