Hi-- On behalf of a local breeder, I have permission to post some general information about some kits for adoption that I have in foster care. None of these kits are suitable for a family with small children or older children who don't have ferret experience. I have 4 light sable, possibly chocolate girls, approximately 5 mos old. The largest girl is about 3# and the smallest is about 2.5#. All of these girls have white bibs and pink noses. The girls have all of their distemper shots, but not their rabies. Parents are ADV negative, but the gilrs haven't been tested. (All of my ferrets are ADV negative, and will be rested again this year.) All of these girls were biters and have been rehabbed, but I would suggest special handling until they adjust to their new homes. These girls can't be scruffed and dragged and need different methods. The girls have not been fixed and are suitable for breeding. Pet and breeder placements will require a contract, breeder reserves the right to refuse placement in homes she feels are unsuitable. Pet placements will require the girl go to the breeders vet for nuetering. Pedigrees will be furnished for all the ferrets, but I don't have them here. (I can have there here for serious inquireis into the bloodlines) Artie has the makings of a point or fine point with her v-mask. She is also an escape artist. She must be kept in a secure cage. I have rotate her through 3 of my 4 group cages and she has done well in all of them. She will be fine in a multi-pet household or as an addition to a ferret family. Sweet tempered, doesn't nip any more, but can be mouthy. (Grabbing with her mouth, but not biting down.) The other two girls have racoon style masks, the standard mask, surrounded by white. These girls are almost identical in appearance and hard to tell apart. They are named Pooka and Selki, but don't answer to their names. Both of these girls consider one of the litter boxes to be a treasure chest and have put all of their toys into it. The box isn't pooped in. the girls both take food from the dish and go over to the ltreasure box to eat out of it. Both girls will go home with toys. both girls are mouthy and still try a test nip. These girls are alpha wannabes and will come into a new situation fighting with other ferrets. I have rotate them through my other cages and playpen. Given time they can settle in. The fourth girl is still a biter, and isn't suitalbe for placement in most homes. She is funny and still wags her tail whenever Dan or I go over to the cage adn talk to her. She startles easily, and is the alpha ferret among her sisters. She may have a preference for a man over a woman. She doesn't seem to nip Dan at all, but still tests me. I still think she can be settled down and be very suitalbe for adoption. All the girls have a 100% hit rate in the cage as long as the litter boxes are cleaned out regularly. Out of the cage, they may be too busy to bother with the litter box. All 3 girls answer to Pretty girl. The ferrets can be seen at my home. I am located in Columbus, OH, near the north side exit of SR 23 and I 270. Kathy Gallagher Celtic Ferrets Columbus, OH [Posted in FML issue 3691]
