After our first ferret meetup here in colorado I realized Snitch my cat chaser was lonely for a ferret friend. I was looking on criags list and found a couple of ferrets that sounded great for my little buddy. First I met Bandit (I thought Bandit a theif and Snitch a tatletale how cute), Snitch loved him right away and they gave the european kiss on each cheek hello. I was more than happy to take him home right away. The Previous owner wanted him to go to a home with kids and cats because that is what he is used to. Next I met little Zaydee. The three of them started playing and dooking right away. The excitement in the room was very contagous. Now I only ment to get one buddy for Snitch but the three got along so well that I took little Zaydee home with us too. Now for my questions: 1) Bandit (2 years old) is well a bit extra round and has been eating food that contained bananas and rasins and such so what can I do to help him lose a little weight so he is not quite as stressed to get up the ladders? 2) Now Zaydee (5 years old) has the opposite problem I can feel almost every bone in her body, she is eating just fine but I would like to see her have a little meat on her bones, so what can I feed her to help her gain a little? She just looks so frail it scares me a little. Niether ferret is up to date with a vet so I will be getting them in as soon as I can but until then I want to be doing some good for them. Thank you for reading, Jessy, Snitch the cat chaser and our new family members Bandit and Zaydee. [Posted in FML issue 5170]
