The ferret in question is owned by a friend of mine in NC. He just so happens to be the one that gave me my first ferret in the late 80's. He knows nothing about the care of ferrets! He now has a female ferret he keeps in his garage in a cage with no toys. The ferret even eats cat food! Not that cat food is bad if it is a good quality (I won't argue). I need advice on how to talk him into giving me this ferret. He says she only comes out of her blankets to eat and just sticks her but out to poop and goes back to sleep!. She won't even go to a corner to poop! Just sticks her but out! I know all this cause he told me and I asked questions. I tried to tell him better way to make her life better and what was really good for ferrets. He just didn't seem to care and waved it off. It's cold in his garage since he lives in NC with all the snow adn it's not heated in any way. If anyone has any ideas on how to persuade him into letting me have let me know? PLEASE?
