Pet Forum / Mammals / Ferrets / July 2004

well... i can't help it, lille björn has turned 7 weeks, 2 more weeks or so,
and he'll be moving in. he's a darling i can assure you, and he's a talker,
if you put him down on the floor to explore he will start dooking in a
matter of minutes! :)

Pixleen is after me again.  Did you ever find out who she was or the
name that her account is under?

It's that time of the year again... to take the furballs to the vet and
get their annual shots.  And I know the vet is going to tell me that
Zane's spleen is somewhat enlarged, and should be removed.  Now I'm not
a vet, but I disagree with her opinion in this matter.  Zane does ...

The fuzzies are at their new home.
With three others who are incredibly adorable.  They'll have a good time.
With sadness I bid a fond farewell.

Well I got Felix to the vet and a bit of prodding around revealed a lump in
the abdomen. So they kept in him and operated, turned out that his spleen

My newest kit, Samwise, has taupe (grey-brown), well formed, coloured faeces
as apposed to dark brown like my other ferrets.     He is rather a scrawny
ferret at the moment. Could his poos indicate a health problem such as lack

Dan arranged to have a pair of ferrets surrendered to us.  A woman in
Walmart saw his ferret Tshirt and asked him if we would like another
pair of ferrets.  Dan gave her our number.  She called called and the
ferrets were dropped off today.

cage, not a fuzzy), someone want to remind me whether it's kosher to do
so here in a.p.f.?  I don't have the charter to hand, and I don't happen
to recall seeing any posted in recent memory.  Rather than get ...

I talked to the local ferret shelter about the little biter, Gracie,
we're fostering.  Dan thinks we should keep her.  I believe she's been
bounced around 3 or 4 times.  She is navigating the cage with no
problem, curled up and sleeping with other ferrets in the cage.  She

Samwise another new kit, has joined Teddy, Bo Bo and Frodo. He is of mixed
colour and loves to play with toys.  I haven't introduced him to the others
yet, but I don't see a problem there.
I will hear about Frosty's post mortem tomorrow.  I think it probably was a

New addition to our family. Since almost two weeks Dorrit
has been living with us. A few photos of her:
