Hello Everyone! Well, I am spending the summer in the UK so I am without my 2 furkids Buffy and Stuart for 2 and a half months! I wanted desperately to bring them, but importing pets to the UK is very difficult, and I didn't want to put them through any unnecessary stress. It's quite depressing without them jumping around my feet, but they are safe and happy with their aunt. Anyway, I was in a pet shop here in Birmingham and the owner has a few ferrets for adoption... he runs a rescue for ferrets, rabbits, and guinea pigs along with the shop. I was there on Monday and he only had one, an albino male which they found wandering down the A38 wearing a radio collar... obviously an ex-hunting ferret. When he first got this big boy he was very nippy and unfriendly, but when my boyfriend and I were visiting with him he was very calm and virtually no nipping just after a week of handling. He has just been neutered and is ready to be adopted... he around 1.5 -2 yrs, but that is only a guess. I would love more than anything to add him to my family, but it can't be done easily as I would have to get him back to the US. If there is anyone in the Birmingham area on the list that is interested e-mail me and I will give you the number to contact this man. Also I have a suggestion about the ferret gate, Tracy. DON'T spend the $60ish on the weasel watcher gate! Instead, go to home depot or some other DIY store and you will be able to buy a plastic plexi-glass sheet for like $10-20 tops depending on the size you want. Measure your door width and get a sheet about 4-5 inches wider and you can just bend it slightly into the door frame. Make sure its at least 2 feet tall or the weasels will be able to escape! Also it would be a good idea to put some kind of tape or bright thing on the top so you remember its there... I went flying over ours one time... not fun, but Buffette and Stuart had a laugh and a dook on top of their fallen mom... :) hope this helps...
