So, I've been eyeing up my local Craigslist lately in search of a nice pet carrier. I went and checked today and saw an ad for a ferret. I had to look It was a beautiful DEW, living in some pretty unhappy circumstances. New parents with no time to take care of her.. had her living in a dog kennel filled with sawdust, they were feeding her purina cat chow and bathing her once a week. I went to their house to meet her and realized they were actually living in a converted motel with their toddler and 2 very, very large dogs. After seeing her cage I had to bring her home. her coat is very dry and brittle and the poor thing is skin and bones. I felt bad picking her up! Anyway.. I have renamed her Aveline. She appears to be around 2 years old. She's been home for an hour and after a nice bellyfull of soupies (I'm amazed she gobbled it all up with no fuss!) is already causing mischief! I can't wait for my other 2 babies to meet her tomorrow. trying to get her to hold still for the camera (please excuse the mess.. you know how it is ) checking things out sniffing a pair of jeans enjoying the goodies in her new cage

Thank you for taking care of her! Ferret math adds up quickly! She's adorable, and what a pretty name I would check her for ear mites and fleas before introducing her to the others

Absolutely They have not met yet, but my other 2 definitely have realized she exists and are not happy about the quarantine! It was too late once I got her to call my vet but I'm hoping I'll be able to get her in by the end of the week for an overall checkup. The one thing her previous owners did do right was keep her up to date on her shots (and save the paperwork!). I let her run amok in my room for few hours while the littler brats were quarantined in the bottom level of the FN (they are so not happy with me at the moment). After she wore herself out I made her a little nest box and she is sleeping in it as we speak! She is such a little darling. I sat on the floor so I could try to interact with her and when she started to get tired, she came over and crawled into my lap and cuddled! No kisses yet, but she appears very gentle and sweet.

Sounds like you might have yourself a cuddle bug And one other good thing? Although they may not have fed her right, or kept her in what we consider as "decent" conditions- she has obviously been well handled, and treated affectionately.

What a sweetie! Some good groceries will take care of that brittle dry fur, happy to hear she's already discovered that soupies is good food.
