Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Scrappy, Cookie and Ginger Snap. About 2 ½ - 3 years old, house trained, spayed/neutered, descented. Preference will be given to a home where they do not have to be confined to a cage much or at all.
Scrappy, Cookie and Ginger Snap are very playful with each other. They chase and wrestle with each other. They are a blast to watch. They also like to play with humans a lot. They love to run through the tubes and play tag. They love to play with crochet eggs and some stuffed animals. They are wild to watch playing in the rice.
All three are 'alpha' ferrets, meaning they will sometimes bully non-alpha ferrets. They have calmed down a lot since being here and very seldom bother the other ferrets. However, I recommend they go to a home with just the three of them or with another alpha ferret. They are not alpha with humans at all.
As with any ferret, they will sometimes try and leave their scent as part of being alpha. For Cookie, it means she will sometimes poop just a teeny bit here and there to show this is her territory. She is doing better with it and will almost certainly stop when they get to a home where there are not so many ferrets around and new ferrets coming in frequently.
Scrappy is very happy to be in a home where he is not in the cage all the time. Because he didn’t get handled by his human much, he’s still learning he can’t bite a human the way he does another ferret. He doesn’t bite me at all anymore. Sometimes he will bite a new person to test his limits. He doesn’t break the skin. He’s not doing it to be mean. He’s just learning what’s okay and not okay. I will show you how to break him from doing this.
Cookie and Scrappy have the very beginning of adrenal disease. Treatment for now is a melatonin implant every four months. Cookie will get her next implant before being adopted. Scrappy is due for one in mid-May. The rescue does the implants for $40. Eventually adrenal surgery should be done for both, especially the male. My vet in Cartersville does the surgery for $236. The rescue will pay $75 toward each surgery.
FREE to a great home. There is an adoption process. They come with a cage and enough food and soup for a month, bedding with their scent on it and some Ferretone. I sell other supplies cheap, including: water bottles, litter pans, leashes, harnesses, shampoo, food, sleep sacks, hammocks, nail trimmers, Ferretone, Bi-Odor, tunnels, tubes, flea supplies, etc.
