It is so nice to know these kids are getting settled into a pet environment! Good work Julianna and volunteers! This brings shelter intake back distant memories of the several shifts of lab ferrets to arrive at FerretWise! Ewok who has passed on but still lives on on our web site - was one of four in our first lab which arrived at FerretWise in 1995 from MIT. They were all wiry coated and bright orange the boys especially. Their diet had been Iams cat & nutrical they looked awful. However once they got situated in a home environment with suggly beds and plenty of quality foods, ferretone, exercise etc., they grew gorgeous full coats. Of the several groups of lab animals we have had over the years all become great pets and none (other than a female whose spay was just removing the uterus and not the ovaries) ever endured adrenal problems! This should be a comfort to those who adopt these kids! The big issue is in allowing them to learn what a ferrets life can be. Welcome to your new life kids! Again Thanks FB of GA for finding a place for these kids! Alicia D www.ferretwise.org [Posted in FML issue 4596]
