Hi everyone...well I've had to make the hardest decision of my life today. Many of you will remember several months ago i adopted a baby ferret from the pet store where i work after he was shipped in a box with his dead brothers and sisters...he made it through a LOT and is VERY healthy at present. The only thing wrong with him is that he is a fear biter which many of you will also remember me posting about. He is also terrified of men. I've tried just about EVERYTHING to stop him from biting, but currently i just dont have the time he needs to accomplish anything. It also doesn't help that my family doesn't understand and after months of work with him all it took was ONE person smacking him on the bum for being bad (not hard) and he is back to his old fear biting self. Now i am currently moving into a new apartment and i can only bring ONE ferret (Jezebel my blind, mentally retarded girl) ...my parents are keeping three and I am left with Baby Biter. Everyone wants me to have him put to sleep, but I could NEVER do that...I see how happy he is when he is with other ferrets. So here is the hard part...i am crying out to fellow FMLer's for your helP!!! If there is SOMEONE out there with a HUGE heart who has enough time AND love for a BEAUTIFUL 7 month old sable mitt, male, neutered/descented...PLEASE let me know. Now here is the hard part..I"m in Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada!! He is FREE to the right person (references are a MUST!!) I will have him fully vaccinated before he leaves me and if it comes down to flying him somewhere i will TRY to get some money to cover some of the cost of shipping. I REALLY want my Baby Boy to go to someone from the FML who rescues ferrets and knows how to handle them. He has a HELL of a lot of potential!! I wouldn't DARE try to find someone where I live becuase at this point in time i feel that i am the most educated person in this city in regards to ferrets (and thats not impressive). If anyone out there has the time, proper references, other ferrets (he LOVES ferrets) and preferably doesn't live with a man (no offense). ...PLEASE email me!! This is the hardest thing for me to do..i feel like I"m letting him down or like i'm just dumping my problem on someone else, but he IS a real sweat heart..he's just terrified of hands. I love him to death, but he is not getting the proper attention that he deserves with me. I work 50+ hours a week which doesn't leave a heck of a lot of time for my sweet little baby... especially considering that I"m the ONLY person in the world right now whom he trusts and can handle him. My family and boyfreind are more tahn terrified of him!! I want Baby to have a GOOD life in a LOVING home where he can be happy 24 hours a day. ANyone who has any suggestions or comments or who wants to help find him the RIGHT home PLEASE email me. I will ONLY send him to the right person. I refuse to have him euthanized. Thank you for your time. -- Liz Luc [log in to unmask] http://www.norlink.net/~state [Posted in FML issue 1934]
