We have a group of five ferrets originally from owners from Texas who had boarded them with us for a few months, then recently turned them over to us completely and moved back to Texas without them. Their health records were re-established with our main veterinarian-animal hospital and the oldest of the five has had a $400.00 operation to excise a tumor on his abdomen which he came through very well and has fully recovered from. The cage they're in is steel and has three sets of shelves, it is five feet by five feet in volume with two wide drop-down doors and we all had to disassemble it and re-assemble it to get it through the inner bedroom door to one of the ferret-rooms where it currently resides between other two-and-a-half storied cages that are set up on rolling containers (saves much back-bending in having most of the regular cages up on rolling carts.) The ferrets are...Corbie Corsaire...a small silver female who tends to nip, 3 to 4 yrs old Freckles Fannie...a small blacksable female , same age as Corbie, who is Corbie's back-up nipper. :) Bandit Bryan Roan Mitt...a large roan mitt male around 4 yrs. old Opie Champagne Speedster...a large champagne and the youngest of this group at 2 yrs old. and Spruced Bruce Albino , the 7-to-8 year old fellow who had and survived that tumor operation. We put them up on petfinder's as adoptable together WITH their cage for a fee of $300.00 and this is negotiable for a person or persons who demonstrate they are ferret-knowledgeable for handling the oldsters and the nippers SUCH AS many of you very good folks right here on this very list! They're currently accustomed to getting their Ferrets' Get-Well Soup at 5 a.m. and again at 2 p.m. in wide trays every day. if you can't see the pics on petfinder's yet (I just put them in tonight, should be available by a.m.) then anyone who's a member can see them on our group, here... http:www.groups.yahoo.com/group/FerretAndDoveSanctuary (Look on the pet-list scroller, here...) http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/ferret_rescuer/index.html http://ferretanddovesanctuary.petfinder.com [Posted in FML 5913]
