Hello everyone!! This is the first time that I decided to write in. I am the new, proud owner of a 7 and 1/2 week old cinnamon, ruby-eyed male. I can't get over how happy he has made me. I am constantly running to get home to see my Boobers!!! Because I have never care for anything remotely close to a ferret I have many questions. Most important: 1- When is the appropriate time to bathe him? The person at the pet store said I had to wait two weeks after I purchased him (I have another 5 days to go!). 2- When should I take him to the vet for his shots? He was innoculated before purchase, but I have to take him for his adults shots. 3 - Does anyone know of a good ferret vet in New York City? Thanks for your help!
