Yesterday I went to get another ferret. There was a lady on Craigslist selling her three ferrets for 40 bucks each, which is a crazy good deal. But anyways, so I called yesterday and wanted to meet up, she had sold one already but was down to meet up with me. So I went to her house with only 40 bucks and this house (if you can call it that) was horrible. It looked like it used to be a store or something in front of a trailer-park but anywho, she was very nice. But I went into the house and it was just terrible, it was dirty and hard to breathe (probably shouldn't have went alone but oh well its over and done with). And she took me to this room where there was no light and a bunch of stuff (hoarders buried alive status). There was this small, very dirty cage in that room, she reached down and pulled out two ferrets. I held one and could feel their bones, it was so sad. So instead of one, I decided to get both. I took one with me, gave her the 40 I already had and told her I needed to get 40 more but I would be right back. So I left for a few minutes, got the 40 I needed and returned for the other. She was waiting for me outside and brought him out. So now I have two new one year old boys and they are super cute.
I never thought I would be a crazy ferret lady but here I am, with 4 and needing a better and bigger cage.
They are much happier though I can tell already. It just makes me sad that a person can treat another creature so horribly. But then I have to remind myself that sometimes humans even treat other humans that way too.
These are all my babies... the whites (first photo) are my two older ones and the darks (second photo) are my two new ones.
Who could treat these so poorly and then want to give them away? I am glad that the woman though called me a good home and she was glad I was taking them. And honestly they will be a lot of work but I think they will be worth it.
Love,
