Noodles was My Best Friend, constant companion for the last Four in a half years. I’am so HeartBroken. Please research your fur babies diets, and in case of an emergency, make sure the Veterinarian is a Ferret Specialist. I should have been more vigilant, I was so ignorant, never trust anyone with your babies unless, your positive of their credentials. My baby is gone. He was still healthy fighting, but ,there was just too much damage done to be corrected. He was suffering trying to fight, I will never be the same. I will never have another pet for the rest of My life. I let him down. I want to Thank Everyone here who is dedicated to care, knowledge of Ferrets. Thank You. Forever MaofNoodles❤️🙏💔

Ahhh I'm so sorry. I know it hurts. My first 4 ferrets ended in disaster. I kept asking myself why? And why do I need another one? I know why now. Painful lessons... you gave Noodles 4 1/2 good years, doing the best you knew. I'm sorry you had to go thru this. May your heart be at peace. Dook in Peace, Noodles

They leave a unique shape hole in our hearts, that cannot be filled by anything else. As time goes by that hole will morph into a more universal size and you will find something that will fill it.
When I first started with ferrets I knew nothing, it was new. I did not do research, But I found a neglected ferret who had not been let out of his cage for 3 years. He could not walk, He had no hind leg strength. He was let out of his cage the day we brought him home. He was given love and attention, In as little as 2 months he was running around the house with his hind legs. a couple of weeks later he was running up and down the stairs. This joy of giving a neglected creature a new life is more reward than anything could ever give us.
Please learn from your mistakes. It is not your fault it is the pet food industries fault. I also believe the pet stores need do a better job of education and not just sell an animal to unsuspecting people. As bad as you feel right now your failure was not intentional, there are other ferret owners that choose to neglect their ferrets. Please take solace in the fact that your furbaby had a great life with you while he was with you and did not get locked in a cage with no companionship or interaction. I too felt bad when our first ferret passed, but it did not take long before I found another ferret in need of saving.
In time you will remember all of the good times and joy your ferret gave you and you will long for it again. There are a lot of neglected ferrets that need our help to give them a life that they deserve but never got. I hope that this is just the rocky beginning of your ferret adventure.
I hope this message does not come off as insensitive because I have tears in my eyes for the loss that you are feeling.

I’m so sorry. Perhaps in the future you will have another, who knows. You can’t beat yourself up too much for what you simply didn’t know, there’s a lot of misinformation out there pushed by all the big companies about what’s supposed to be best for them and in an ideal world they’d have the pet’s best interests at heart, but they can’t be trusted.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Be kind to yourself. You cared for Noodles the best you knew you could and gave him the unconditional love he deserved. There is always a learning curve with everything we take on in life. You never let him down. You took him in a cared for him as your family. Unfortunately, not all of our babies live a long life given the health they have been dealt, that we can't control. We can only do so much but we can't always prevent some of their illnesses that they can get. Some of it is genetic and we can't change that. Please don't give up on yourself and having another pet. One day another pet will come into your life and will need your help and love. Open your heart and home again and love them unconditionally. I know it's painful now, but the pain will subside eventually and you will love another pet. Just remember all the joy Noodles brought to you. You will develop another tight bond with another pet like you did with Noodle. Care care of yourself and cherish what you had with Noodle. Dook in Peace Noodle. You were much loved.
