So this is the story..
A person south of me decided it would be "fun" to put an intact male and female together and see what would happen. Well you don't have to be a genius to figure this one out. There was a litter. They decided to keep one kit of the litter (the little girl I got tonight). Had her for almost her first year constantly caged, no playtime. The "breeder" or whatever you want to call hers friend took pity on this ferret and took her in and moved north to a city near where I live. So this friend has her a month. Says she is very allergic to her. Also says her kids don't like her like she anticipated she would. Needs her out ASAP. She will basically give her to me she just wants her to go to a home where she can be let out of her cage. Also says she is a "special case" behaviorally because she throws tantrums in her cage (hmm i wonder why?? sigh...). Has been bathing her once a week, never has trimmed her nails...EVER...and she's on nasty Marshall's food.
When I showed up it was totally dark and the woman just met me out in her front yard and placed everything in my arms and was just talking really fast like she just wanted me to go. I didn't even see what I was getting I just took the carrier from her and left. And there was not good lighting the whole way home so I kind of just blindly took this ferret..crazy, right?
So I get her home and first order of business is take her in a secluded room and see exactly what we are dealing with here. She's a sweetie. She just wanted so bad to run and play that I didn't put it off too long before I just let her finally get the crazies out of her system. She war danced and dooked for three hours before I put her to bed in her cage, I wanted to make sure she had an adequate run before caging her.
I will try to get better pics of her later, she doesn't sit still. We are still deciding on name. Considering the name Pino. We will see if it sticks.
