Hello to all, I thought I would give an update on how our sick little baby Magic is doing. Its been about three weeks now, and he is doing really wonderfully! He's put on lots of weight and is growing like a weed! He is just starting to eat some crunchy food, but still isnt overly keen on the idea, that I dont blame him for though, I bet the wet food is much more tasty. Im hopeing to get him to the vet again at the end of the month when we bring in one of our hedgehogs (He's loosing his quills poor boy!!) Last week Magic lost his baby teeth, and I accually got to keep one of his molars!! Which is so very special :) Im guessing they usually just swallow the teeth that they loose as I havent found others in his little house. Speaking of his little house, as some may remember I was keeping him in a carrier for a medium sized dog, (Its really quite large). Well, I set him up a hammie and he loves playing in there with his toilet paper roll or little stuffed horse which he scruffs and beats up :) He's yet to be intergrated in with the rest of our kids, but all of them come and visit him, with Miss Belly Belle usually sleeping with him through the day. Im going to wait another couple of weeks for Magic to get some weight and size on him, before including him with the other kids in the cage. He seems really fond of his little home, and also Otto our alpha ferret can sometimes play a little rough. Every time he has been near Magic he practically leaps at the kid to get a hold of his scruff so he can give him a shake and drag him off. While I dont mind the dragging and a little shake.. and the scruffing, and yelping that goes along with it (Ive seen it happen all the time with my other kids) I just want to make sure Magic has the energy and strength to deal with it. I do have one question for you knowledgable folks, have you any idea what a yellowish poop might mean? This one had some mucus/slime with it. Magic only passed it tonight, and so I will be watching him carefully. I am somewhat worried this might have something to do with his ulcer and the crunchy foods. The next thing I wanted to just give a mention to, is something I found on ebay while looking at cage prices .. Someday I want to get the kids a big house, and this is the closest I get to window shopping. Anyway, the site is - http://www.igive.com/html/fmsw.cfm?vendorid=1559&uuid=228345495425 [Moderator's note: Access to above requires iGive.com "membership." BIG] Its a cage, with ferrets included!! I was surprised to see this.. and just thought I would mention it.. I hope all goes well with these kids.. *Little bit of worry worry there* Another little gem I found.. which Im sure many of you may know about, is Petfinder Classified I was looking through the list of animals in need of homes, and they had quite a few fuzzies listed.. the address there is http://web1.petfinder.org/post/classifiedhop.html With Dooks Snuggles and Raisins for all, Cheryl Otto-bo-botto, Belly Belle, Le Jacque, Bosley Monster, Mr. Max, and Baby Magic. [P.S.] Ive just realized that the address I gave in my privious post just gives the main page. If you do a search for ferret cage, you will find the listing. Its a Cage with Ferrets included. The seller's ID is 'twisted36x' [Moderator's note: Looks like the URL is http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2014338070 Listed under rodents, no less. Since it's against eBay's policies to sell live animals you had better look fast before it's delisted. BIG] [Posted in FML issue 3742]
