I haven't heard back from the owner. I promise I will update once I hear back - good, bad or other. I've done what I can do, my conscience is clear, it's just up to them to make some choices.

Thanks. If they turn you down I'll talk to my husband and see what we can do for her.

I worry for her either way. I hope they think of her best interests first.  |

You weren't blunt- you were honest. And that is a HUGE difference. They've obviously not thought about what this would do to her with switching back and forth at her age.

I'm worried too but... sometimes they do ok with change (especially when it's for the better). Pip had spent many years at HeavenScent Ferret rescue and suffered the loss of her cage mate/sister before I took her in at the ripe, old age of 5. I thought she would be a challenge, suffering depression and all that. But she came to my house, switched herself immediately to raw and knocked both of my boys into their appropriate place on the bottom. SHE is alpha, hear her roar. I'm trying to be optimistic but 9 years with a family  it's going to be tough. I have an extra large bottle of rescue remedy |

Good luck. I'm sure that Babushka would have been alpha if she was in a position to have been. I was amazed when I got her switched to raw that she used to regularly pound down Pooka who was younger and bigger than she was. Don't count out the old ones when they get their feet back  My concern for this little one is she's bonded to her people. That has devastating effects. I've got a wee one turned in last week, he was bonded to his people, he's having a terrible time of it  ciao |

Little Molly is coming to live with us permanently. I will pick her up on saturday when I travel to Dothan to get more ferret food. She will live in the top half of my FN142 while my three continue to have their free roam. (They've picketed their cage for the last three weeks.) She will see my vet and get a good once over and I'll have a BG done. Her owner described her as not active and clumsy, so I'm concerned insulinoma may be an issue but maybe she's just a clumsy old lady too. I'll let her stay on the food she's eating until we know we're in the clear as far as depression goes and then I'll look into switching her if we make it that far. I'm sure I'll be coming to all of you for help when we get this process started.

I'm so glad that at least they will let her stay where she's going to be living. Thank you for giving this very senior ferret a loving home.

Congratulations and thank you for taking in a wee senior. They often don't do well in a shelter situation. She will have a good home for the remainder of her days. Good luck at the vets. Hopefully, it's the lack of exercise that's her issue and not insulinoma, though she will have good care Thank you, for taking her in and caring   ciao |

Aww thanks for taking her . If you don't already have rescue remedy, her and your ferrets could really use it.
