I might be moving to California, hence the anonymous posting. I tried to search the Archives, but it getting tough to weed through so much information. So, apologies, first of all, to anyone tired of seeing this [same] question. Should I consider getting a foster home for my two guys in Phoenix? I'd be living in San Diego and could go visit them now and again. Or, should I just find a good home for them and part ways. I've had these guys for four years. One has had an adrenalectomy and is back to great health. The other is a tough guy, but always makes the ferret sitters nervous when I'm out of town because he's just so scrawny. He was even more frail when I moved where I am now and left them with a rescue for two months. I fear that totally relinquishing any contact with these guys might kill the skinny one. BTW, I'd use their names, but I use to post messages with their names all of the time. It wouldn't be tough to find out who I am if I mention their names. Thanks again for everyone's time, patience and feedback! ps: whether I move to CA or not, I'm definitely going to start supporting the folks who are trying to legalize ferrets in there. this is causing me great pains, and it shouldn't.
