so, in early December, I found someone on craigslist near me who bought a marshall ferret a few weeks old from a pet store (jfc), and who took them home for a few months. finding out the baby ferret was deaf, they decided they didn't want them anymore.  so I contacted them, and it was settled that I'd take the baby home (today, as it happens). so I was finding names, looking at pictures of the baby, etc. but on the 25th, the person contacted me and said the baby ferret died.  they never took them to a vet at all or anything. I just . . . I felt hollowed out and destroyed. I still feel pretty destroyed. I never got to see the baby or anything, but I feel like I've lost something important. It's probably silly to post this, but I still feel a great sense of loss. : ( |

it's not silly. it's sad to think that the lil ferret had a chance with you and never made it that far. I've lost 19 in 9 short years, and every one was devastating. Bless your heart for wanting to rescue an innocent creature in need.

It's not silly. When a baby who you don't personally know dies, all the excitement and the life you imagined with them vanish in a blink of an eye. It's ok to mourn them. I'm so sorry you never got a chance to hold this fuzz ball. It's terrible what happened to this baby ferret.

As others have said- what you are feeling isn't silly at all. You did lose something- all the bright times that could/should have been |

It isn't silly, that baby was yours in your heart. It's completely fine to mourn over it.
I'm so sorry for your loss, my heart goes out to you. 😢

Not silly at all! I myself have tried to save a ferret from a sale group on Facebook, it all seemed to be lined up, until she ignored me for a few days, and ultimately gave it to a friend instead. I bawled like a baby.
Little baby ferret will forever be in our hearts!
