>As to some people not wanting to adopt to ferrets out to "young" people, >my opinion is this: I know a lot of "young" people who are more >responsible and better able to take care of a ferret then a lot of >"older" people who both might apply to adopt. I think not adopting >to someone just because of there age, is like racism. I guess it >would be 'ageism'... I do not want to be involved in a debate. But, as an agency RN I do see all walks of life in the hospitals. Medical care does not descriminate. And I see it all. Personalities, responsibilities,.... and more young and old. I'm in my twenties, and not married. Will be in a year and my fiance loves these guys and wants them in his life too. I was in my young twenties when I started. I have learned a lot and come a long way. But, all of them have gotten whatever they've needed at the vet, and always have had a stable life here. Yes, now that I'm making more money and can afford a much better apt. But, this one I can have all eight here, and some of them have been here for 4 1/2 years. If I move, it's going to be my own house I buy. Someone has trusted me with four of the Utah's and I'm in my twenties. And they all get playtimes twice a day, stability, love and everything a fert needs. Including vet care, all vet care needed even if it means spending $4,300 since Jan of this year.
