Hi, everyone, I walked into a pet store today that carries something Discount Pet doesn't which I happened to need for our kids. In that store was a small cage with shavings, no litter pan, an empty food bowl, and an empty water bottle, and two ferrets, one chocolate kit, and one somewhat larger red-eyed white male. It turns out the white had been there a while because, as I was told "He's a terrible biter". Uh huh... I imagine any ferret who isn't fed or given a constant supply of water might just get a bit nasty. I brought this five month old kit home, intent on doing what I did for little Ebisneezer, who is happy in his new home. I am really, really torn about this. This "terrible biter" turns out to be nothing but sweet when shown a little love and attention, and some of you know I always wanted an albino. He's rambunctious and playful, but not at all a biter. For right now, he's called Pertwee, after the late white haired actor, John Pertwee, who got me so into Dr. Who when he played the title role. The little guy cost me $120, plus having another mouth to feed and take care of. I'd like to recover that and find him a good home. If I can't then I suppose we'll have to keep him. Eight ferrets???? Yikes! ...and five would be mine. Oy! Anyone want an adorable five month old? -Caity ________________________________________________ Caitlyn M.
