A week and a half later after getting the two girls someone at least took to the vet hospital, they have names (Galena and Kaida) and they have LIFE! Seeing them now you would hardly believe how bad they were. Maybe some of you shelters who have been around for a long time have seen this more than I have, we are still relatively new and these cases are some what shocking. How can anyone starve these creatures to near death and not give them water? The larger one, Kaida, is mellowing in her attitude, there is no issue with Galena. Next we'll see how they behave with some other ferrets. Thanks to everyone who sent name suggestions. They were all good and I will keep them handy for the future. Carol J. Owens Ferret Friends, Inc.
