Well, I guess at best my ferret mommy intuition was right on when I decided to make the pimp daddys permanent residents a month ago. Two weeks following, Trey and Draco came up with insulinoma. It is only recently that I've noticed these ferrets are older than I thought, maybe 5 or 6...I can't beleive they were still being kept whole and breeding at this old age. (Thanks to the Millers) Last night we lost Bange. (Pronounced Banjee) I've been working with him round the clock for a bad inner ear infection with a strain of bacteria that was very resistant to antibiotics. He was drinking his soup every three hours though and I never expected he would pass from this even though his improvement was slow. Also, I wanted to remind everyone that I have a candle page on our website where I will light a candle for any of your precious furrzies that have passed. If you haven't seen it yet, you should check it out. Kat's web talents really shine on this page. Here's our link: http://companiontalk.terrabox.com/SUMS-IMO.html **** BTW, has the other "rescue" that stepped in and helped out last year paid a visit to see this years breeding filth? I read your post Dawn but I have to wonder why this "rescue" insists on remaining anonymous. I took all that hell from the anon poster last year for not coming forward sooner...I had my reasons for keeping this quiet last year, but the fact that this is happening again after she was down to a clean area and only 10 ferrets does leave one wondering how she could be over run again without someone else providing her with breeding stock. So maybe, since you have ALL the information on people that are working with her, you could check it out. Huh? And be sure to let all of us know. Alot of people's donations through SOS assisted with the rescue of this breeder filth and the ferret community needs and deserve answers. [Moderator's note: As always, status reports are welcome.
