My beloved CJ just passed I away. I don't have all the details yet. Don't know if she was helped or passed on her own. I'm on my phone at my parent's house as that was the closest place to go to cry when I got the message. So it is hard to type. CJ was not mine in terms of ownership but for the six months I lived with her she was 'mine'. She listened to me. I potty trained her cleaned her cage played with her socialised her. She would run up to me every few minutes to check on me. She'd want to be everywhere I was. She'd seek me out for nap time. Never slept on my housemate even after she moved out with her.
I took her to ferret rescue things and she was happy for any one to hold her. She was a licker and a dooker. She was obsessed with getting into bins. She never bit except by accident. She dug massive holes in the front yard. She helped me through depression and anxiety, got me new hobbies interests friends and bravery. Got me into ferrets.
I can't believe she is gone at only just over a year old.

I can't figure out how to post photos on a phone. She'd been sick for over twenty four hours. Right now I'm trying not to blame people but I feel really angry. Even though she wasn't mine. I really wish she was. She bonded with me at ten weeks old when she was brought home. Such a happy ditzy little good girl. She was the smallest Jill I've ever seen. A third the size of nibbler.

CJ playing with my hand. She often used her teeth on me but she never hurt.

Asleep on my lap. She had really cute mitts and white knees. I have only a few photos of her but most of them aren't currently with me.

I am so sorry to hear this tundra. I know CJ was in many ways your heart ferret and your heart must be breaking, especially not knowing what has happened and not having been able to help her or even to say goodbye. Am keeping you in my thoughts

She was put down because the vet said that they didn't know what was wrong but she was too weak. They thought they couldn't help her. I just wish I'd been able to convince her to go to a ferret vet. If she were mine she'd have gone to a vet at the first vomit and been syringe fed and water.

I don't know about heart ferrets but I know I loved her and wanted her very much. I love nibbler just as much now but with her it was love at first sight. Rolling around on my housemate's bedroom floor. Extremely tiny so tiny she had enough room to play between two people's legs making a diamond on the floor. I've always thought it would not end well for her but I did not expect this.
Now her friend bear is lonely.

Also housemate could not afford to try apparently. Four hundred and sixty dollars and she just moved house last week. But that's why I have a ferret fund. I would have paid for her if I'd been asked. At a vet that knows what they're doing anyway.

Look at those pointy ears and little fangs and cute knees and yellow chin.
I really wanted her. I hope she forgave me for leaving her. Not by choice obviously but she wouldn't know that. Such a tiny little life. I loved how she'd hear me coming and rush down her ramp to greet me. And how the time she escaped but came to find me inside instead of running off. I could trust her with my stuff too. She wasn't destructive except for bin bags which she would shred trying to get in. I loved that as soon as I was awake I'd go rescue her from her little hutch outside and bring her in for playtime. And she'd play for hours! I'd try to leave the room to go to the toilet and I'd come back to her behind the door trying to get out because she'd woken up to me gone.
Without her I wouldn't have got into the rescue or found nibbler.
