Thanks to everyone who responded to my posting about the baby ferret. After taking it to animal control we found out it was a baby mink. I'm sorry my posting was so undiscriptive, but it was a dark brow with a white belly. It was a biter. I couldn't scruff it at all. It did manage to bite me, but everything is fine. I went to the emergency room. I figured out on my own, that it probably wasn't a baby ferret after log in to a ferret web site that had pictures of day old ferrets. This little thing I found had a full coat, it's eyes open, and was able to defend itself just fine. I never did find out if it was a male or female. I showed it to animal control and they told me what it was right away. If it was a ferret I would have taken it home until the owner claimed it. Thanks to everyone who responded.
