Hello and Happy new year! I just wanted to let all the wonderful applicants know, that in regard to Homey, the ferret up for adoption has been adopted. We have chosen to keep him. We are going to make a vet appointment and try to conclude why he has lost a little hair and has black heads on his tail where the hair is beginning to thin. (Adrenal?) He had been sneezing a bit, when he arrived at our home. (We thought maybe, he had a sensitive sniffer) I, am starting to think he had a cold/flu bug. Now, my other three fert girls have terrible sneezes and coughs! In conclusion, I am really not a person to push an issue (ferret illness) onto another family. I will save my money and pray for Homey's health. Again, thanks for all the applications, you returned to me...I am grateful for so many ferret lovers.
