Why anyone would shave a ferret is beyond me.  Hope to see pictures soon. |

That poor thing! She's going to be tremendously sensitive to temperature fluctuations until her coat grows back  |

Poor wee mite. How could anyone be so cruel (we spend most of our time trying to put fur on our adrenal kids). Was their a purpose for this, a misguided health reason

When the local rescue first got Mika and Jade, their owner had used powdered shampoo on them on a fairly regular basis; they were COVERED in mats! (I didn't think it was even possible for ferret fur to mat, but apparently if you dry the bejeezus out of it...) That was actually how I was able to tell the girls apart when I first started fostering them: Mika had more shaved spots.
I usually let new fosters chill out the first couple days I have them, but these girls were so disgusting with that powder all over them I couldn't take it anymore... they had full baths and mani-pedi's within the hour!!
