Today my foster kids returned to Lollypop Farm so I headed to the small mammal room to checkout the three ferrets listed for adoption. The first ferret listed is Rascal, he is seven years old. He is a sable. His fur looks good from what I could tell. I was only able to get a gander of him through the glass as I've no longer got the contacts I had with the staff turn over. He was belly up snoozing up a storm. I do know they do not test for insulinoma. At seven, I would be concerned. I believe this dude was with an owner who then gave him to this lady who then decided she didn't know enough about him to keep him safe. Thus his arrival at Lollypop Farm. The other two are a pair and one year old each. One is a blaze. I'm thinking the male as he was pretty large when he came over to the glass to check me out. The other was snuggled under the bedding and while there was a lot of "hitchin and gettin" no one else popped their little heads out. They were purchased and then those "evil allergies" attacked and here they are in a shelter. They are named Eddie and Crash. While I can't recall each ferret's weight I do recall they were all good weights for males and the female. I have provided the link. There are no pics at this time, but they may pop up in the next few days. For some reason the staff posting ferrets is having a difficult time recognizing the ferrets and their coloring. The last kids listed were all goofed up. (In the description they were listed white and then the pic would show a dark sable.) Also their computer programs do not offer appropriate ferret colorings. Sadly, it is what it is. http://www.lollypop.org/site/c.clKUI9OQIoJcH/b.6179485/k.BEF3/Home.htm Click on adoptable animals. Then click on small and furry and Main location, hit submit. On occasion ferrets also go to Petsmart Henrietta so you can click there too if they do not come up on the Main Fairport location. If nothing shows up it means they were probably adopted. Ferret adoption fee is $50.00. Often a bonded pair will go for 2/$50.00. You also get a free vet check-up as long as you go to a vet on the enclosed list. They are treated for any mites, fleas and given a rabies shot. Usually the mites are treated with an injection of Ivermectin so you should ask if they had their second shot, otherwise you may have to continue treatment on your own. They do include the rabies certificate and a health check list for what was performed. Any questions feel free to e-mail me.
