Hello to the group. I am a new ferret mommy. I have been doing dog, bunny and guinna pig resuce for years now. After the death of our last senior rabbit the children and I wanted to try a new small animal. We checked our local animal shelter and found a a silver mitt female available for adoption. She had been abandoned in an empty apartment with her three friends and left to starve. She was fortunate and got out the house. Her three friends were not so lucky. She had been adopted out and returned because she was labelled a biter. We were told we would be her last chance of finding a home and if returned she would be euthanized. We were told she would need extra TLC to get her adjusted. She is doing well and we took her for full exam and shots this weekend. She has turned out to be such a sweety. We named her Sox. Sox is obsessed with Socks and toes! I do have an appeal for memebers out there. I need to get her a ferret cage with multi-levels so we won't be so bored when we are away in the day at work. Anyone out there with a cage to either sell or give away please e-mail me personally. I will be more than willing to pay for the shipping. Right now Sox is in my largiest Bunny cage with the floor covered and lots of blankies. She is using her litter box regularly and returns back to her cage to potty and to eat and drink. She runs free when we are home but when we can't supervise her she must stay in her cage. thanks to all in the group. Sox's has been the best thing that has come to our house. We are so glad to see her happy and thriving with the love we can provide for her! Antoinette [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 4026]
