I just want to say thank you to everyone who contacted me about Pukka's situation. Everyone has been really supportive and I feel much better-- it's comforting to know there are other people who've been through similar situations and are still good ferret parents. I'm going to try to get her to the Educated Ferret shelter-- thanks, Donna!-- it's close to where I'll be living so maybe I can keep track of where the little girl goes. To clear one thing up that a few people asked me about: I got Pukka (along with my Sebastian) from the local Humane Society, not from a ferret shelter. They deal mainly with dogs and cats, and I seemed to know more about ferrets than they did (and I'm by no means an expert). When I got Pukka, they told me she bit and no one really wanted to handle her, so that's why I don't hold much hope for them helping with her problems if I brought her back. Again, thanks to everyone. Now the next step is seeing how they'll all handle the move...
