I'm trying to find some ferret friendly people in Central/Northern NJ for possible play dates and ferret siting. I am willing to return the favor -- I'd just rather not board the poor guys at a vet for a week at a time. Allow me to introduce us since we are relatively new to *this* list and have never posted. I have three fuzzies and have had ferret(s) for almost a year and a half. Katie, a sable, who is 20 months old and 2 1/4 lbs. Matt, a chocolate, who is 18 months old and 3 1/2 lbs. Last but not least is Al, a marked white w/ a gray stripe down his back/tail. He's 6 months old, about 3 lbs and deaf. Fortunately Al is a follower and hangs pretty close with his siblings so his deafness has never been a problem - he just sleeps later ;-) Their home environment is pretty nice (if I do say so myself). They have a 9x12 room and with a 4 story cage. For the past month, they are rarely caged and have free run of their room with lots of time with me visiting --- They also get free run of (most of) the house a few times a week. They are also content to be caged in their travel cage as long as they get a few hours out for running and playing a day. Please e-mail me if you are interested in making some new fuzzy friends.
