HI-- A darling little boy, silvermitt, white chest was dropped off at home on Sat afternoon. He came in a small screended carboard box. He lost his home because he scratched the baby. (Why weren't the ferret and the baby being supervised?) He had a beutiful coat, clear eyes and his teeth looked good. He was on the thin side, but not too badly. Compared to my rowdy kits with thick fur coats and winter padding he was tiny. He was also terrified, clung on for dear life and didn't react to any noises leading us to believe he was deaf. All he did was eat and sleep while in our care. He went out Sunday on a trial visit to his new home. He must have belonged to a family with children, because he came to the children in the home immediately. I'm told today he was busy rearranging his new cage to better suit his personal tastes. Apparently his new mommy didn't do it quite right.. He isn't deaf, and is taking a great interest in everything and everyone around him. After only 24 hrs in a safe loving home, he's turned into a charming little ferret. KG Celtic Ferret Columbus, OH [Posted in FML issue 2906]
