Hi everyone, I have only posted a couple of times but have gained alot of insite and good ideas from reading all of your posts. Some of you may remember a ferret named Poncho that Bob C. was looking to find a permenant home for. Well, I am the lucky person who adopted Poncho. Bob brought him to me a few weeks ago and I thought it was time to send an update on him to the people who were interested in him. He came to me a very skinny but healthy little guy with quite a disliking for other ferrets. He loves me and my husband and loves to be carried around. He still doesn't play much, but does do a little war dance when he is the only ferret out playing. I've gotten him on iams kitten food which he would only eat from my hand to begin with, but now he enjoys it in his bowl. I've also been supplementing him with a concoction called Terri's Sif soup, which I got the recipe from the great people at the Kansas City Ferret Hotline and shelter. He gets this from a baby bottle and he loves it! It also gives us a little special baby time together. He is beginning to put on weight, but he still hates other ferrets. I supervise closely when all four of my sweeties are out together. Poncho hangs by himself most of the time. But I have this rather rambunctous little, actually really big fat kit, that loves to ambush everyone. The other ferrets tolerate the attacks pretty well, but Poncho, well, you'd thought someone was killing him! I come to his rescue and cuddle him till he stops shaking! On the kit's part it's all fun, but we still haven't convinced Poncho of that. But it has only been a few weeks and I'm not going to rush him into it. I believe with time he will come around and start to have fun with the rest of them. Until then, I am his favorite plaything!
