Hi, everyone, One of the ferrets up for adoption at The Ferret Guardian Rescue Haven is Baby. You have never held a big fuzzy until you have had him in your arms. He is a beautiful champagne ferret weighing in at a whopping 8.5 pounds! He is simply the longest, biggest fuzzy I've seen yet, and is absolutely affectionate. Baby is neutered and descented, but I have no idea how old he was when he had his surgery. Now that I have answered the question, I have an opportunity to try to do a good deed and find Baby a home. I suspect Baby would have been adopted out quickly if he didn't come in with Meko. Meko is a beautiful panda, but has a serious nipping problem which makes him difficult to find a good home for. When ferrets have been together all their lives, Diane, who runs the shelter, will not separate them, which, IMHO, is a very good practice. So, Baby and Meko wait... If you live in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, or Eastern Tennessee and have the patience to work to train a problem nipper, please call Diane Campbell at (704) 872-9538, or check out the shelter site at: http://www.ferretguardian.org There is also a single ferret named Chewie who lives up to his name, and could sure benefit from a good home. Take care, Caity Martin co-webmaster, FGRH [Posted in FML issue 2581]
