Greetings all, I hope this gets to the fml okay. Hope everyone is having a good new years so far. I would like to thank everyone for their advice on the neglected ferret situation I posted on about a month ago. I was hoping to get to adopt the little girl, but as it turns out they said no. It seems the youngest of their children has gotten attached to the ferret and did not want to give it up. So I did the only thing I knew to do, I printed off every available piece of information I could find on caring for, and training ferrets. I compiled it all in a booklet and also made up a list of "ferret" friendly vets in the area, along with their phone numbers. I even went so far as to go and highlight everything I felt was most important, that they were over looking. I keep asking about her though. And from what I hear she is doing well, she is still in the small cage, but she is getting to "run about" in the youngest sons room every evening. Being loved on and handled more is helping I am sure. She will be turning 6 mo. soon, and my husband is turning on the pressure to have her spayed and we plan on sending her a "care package" as soon as possible. Anyways, thanks for all the replies on the issue. I am still looking for another ferret for the family. I would drather get one from some place other than a pet store, so if anyone knows of a good quality breeder or shelter in the Okc area, please let me know! I still run across a few "ferret to good home" ads in the paper but as soon as I call I find out that they are already gone. I am having trouble sending mail so I am using a hotmail account to send this, but replies can still go to [log in to unmask] Thanks, Michelle [Posted in FML issue 2174]
