Izzy's new baby brother...

[maddiesmom]

Izzy's been really pouty even since... well... you know (yes, I'm going through that stage where I cry if I hear/say his name or talk about it )

I knew I had to suck it up and get another ferret sooner rather than later. I wasn't sure if I was "ready", or if this was even a good idea. But someone I know through one of my friends (I wouldn't really call said person a friend)... is who shouldn't even own a pet, let alone ferrets, texted me told me all about this boy she just got that she didn't want to keep because he bites too much, and too hard, he was mean, aggressive, etc

Long story short, I brought this new baby boy home... and he IS a baby, very much so. He's only 12 weeks, hence the biting. He's a quick learner, though... he just needs consistency and a little bit of reinforcement for chewing on more appropriate things

Izzy needed him. She took to him really, really well. Even better than some of the other ferrets she knows

I think I'm going to call him Isaac (formerly 'Weasel' >.<)

So... while it felt really too soon, he's quickly warming my heart. I'm having to start with the basics and litter training, unfortunately... And he seemed to take to the raw right away, but is now being a bit of a challenge, so I'm worried about him in that sense... maybe I should make another thread about it lol...

ok, ok... this photo, ftw

Oh what a precious angel! I know it may be soon, but it may be just what you and Izzy need

He is so adorable - what a face! And glad to see them already getting along so well

[Deleted]

He's beautiful! Congratulations, and thank you so much for giving him a real home, difficult as the timing was -- there's a reason that you found one another

[shilohismygirl]

He's a sweet looking little baby! Izzy might really have needed a friend! Such a cutie!

[Sherry]

I do believe that new little ones are sometimes guided to us by those who've passed. I think Isaac may be such a one

[taratee]

hopefully he will help izzy and you through the difficult situation youve been put in

[Heather]

What a little sweetheart and a much needed friend. I, too believe that often little ones cross our paths to help us out of situations that we find ourselves in, we need only open our hearts and our homes to them He is adorable and just what both of you need to heal. Good luck.
ciao

Aww Congrats! He is soo cute! I'm so glad Izzy has a new buddy to love on and play with.

[sherik]

Congrats.... he is so sweet

Aww I love how Izzy is following him around all curiously in the pics you can tell she's excited for a new friend. MORE PICTURES

OH my god, he is tooooo adorable! Congrats! When i got SoCo he was 11 weeks old, I thought i should ween him slowly off the mushy marshals even though he was extremely into the raw food, but everyone on here told me I didnt have to ween him off it and he has taken to it like a fish to water since. h*ll eat near about to anything I put down for him but I got him really young and have been giving him as much of a variety as I can since I got him, I feel like if I got him at his current near four months old it would be a little more challenging. Good Luck hon, hopefully it wont be as hard as switching a cranky older fert

I LOVE HIM!! he looks adorable. that last pic is great.
i feel like i want to squish him.
sherry: I also think that our babies that have passed on to the other side guide new furbabies to us.
somehow they let us know: "he's the one mom! take him home!"
to me, nothing heals a broken heart like a little baby ferret. they are crazy and hard to deal with at times, but they are also too yummy for words. there is NOTHING better than a sleeping baby ferret.

Thanks everyone! He is doing really well - he has really taken to raw, and is GROWING like weed!!!

[Deleted]

Congrats, he is adorable.
Definitely has the face of a troublemaker ;D

I'm glad Izzy has taken to him!
