Hi again. I called the place where I rescued this boy. Originally they had told me he had been there a year. Probably to get my sympathy to adopt him. I have no regrets there. I love him dearly and am blessed to have him in my life. Anyway, turns out he is probably only a year old at this point. He must be a late bloomer and is only growing his" jewels "now. As a very lovely shelter Mom, who helps me enormously, put it, he has been hiding them! So unless any of you have any other info, I am assuming he just needs to be neutered at this point, which I am happy about since this will be a late neuter. I have always noticed that he has a different smell than my other two rescue boys, who are neutered, but not descented. Anyway, that is my drama of the day with my ferrets. I am probably the last person who should have these guys, given my personality, but I would not trade them for anything! Liz [Posted in FML 5962]
