So, my mom calls me when I get out of school from her work, saying she has to show me something. Okay? I didnt have a clue what she was talking about, but she she got out of work she came to pick me up. We drove back to her work and im just thinking what in the world does she want to show me thats at her work? So we go inside, and my old ferret cage that was in the garage was in there, wth?...
My mom and the other guy craig working there were just sitting in the front office at around 12, when they saw something run by the window. So craig goes outside, and.. theres a ferret, running along the outside of the building. Their store is next to a busy highway, with no houses close by. I thought maybe he escaped from the dog daycare that i volunteer at near by. We called them, but no missing ferrets.
Hes not afriad of people, so he must have lived with someone before. Either they didnt take care of him, or hes been out for a REALLY long time. His nails are like insanely long. He was walking all funny because the nails were bending his toes when he walked. And its hard to tell but he seems pretty skinny for a ferret. When I had my ferret a long time ago, you could always feel her ribs but they never really stuck out like his do. And you can feel his hip bones really sticking out.
The "sucker for animals" gene seems to run in the family because my mom went and got him some food, treats, my old ferret cage form the garage, a water bottle, and a harness. She "ferret proofed" the front room of the store and let him run around in there all day(after he slept for like 4 hours even with all the people coming in and out). The "rescue story" was sent out to the rest of the stores she works with and he has become sort of a "mascot" for the store in less than 2 days.
The second I got to the store i knew I was keeping him. whether they let me or not lol. I called my dad (hes the one i live with, sorta) and got the usuall answer from him "I dont care".
They found him on wednesday, and I brought him back the next day. I completly ferret proofed a whole room for him. He has no idea hes supose to "go" inside the litter box though, we went right next to it.
I found out this morning, that I CANNOT keep a water dish in his cage, bottle only. He decided to give himself a bath. And the whole cage while hes at it lol.
I havent introduced Bailey and him yet, just because i think he has fleas and I want to make sure he gets settled in first. They had a quick snif through the cage. Bailey wasnt sure what to make of the little critter. He was sniffing around all day trying to figure out where that new smell came from lol
He is SO cute. I trimmed all his nails so he can walk normaly now, and Im giving him a bath and getting him some flea stuff this weekend. I got a bunch of pics of him last night, I havent loaded them yet but ill post them when i do. Ive been trying to find a name for him, any suggestions? A pic would prolly help....
