Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Thumper – 2 1/2 years old, neutered, descented. Preference will be given to a home where he does not have to be confined to a cage much or at all. There is an adoption process.
He loves human attention and will sleep with you, as well as get in the shower with you. He wrestles and plays with me as much as he can. He loves to run up and down the stairs and jumps into the shower to play with balls.
Thumper is aggressive with other ferrets. He can go to a home by himself or with another ferret, if that ferret is able to hold its own with him. He also loves to play with other animals. He should NOT go to a home with birds or small animals.
He must be let out of the cage or room at least twice a day and for at least six hours every day.
Thumper has the beginning of adrenal disease, which 75% of ferrets will get in their lifetimes. If treated, most adrenal ferrets end up dying from something else besides adrenal disease. He received a Deslorelin implant as treatment on 7/9/17, which is good for a year. After that, they will need another implant ($160 at the rescue). Otherwise, he is very healthy.
Litter trained (as well as ferrets can be). All ferrets have received two distemper vaccinations at the rescue and have been treated for fleas and ear mites. They are well socialized with humans. (Pet store ferrets still need two distemper vaccinations and to be treated for ear mites.)
Adoption fee $25. He does NOT come with a cage. The rescue has cages for sale for $40 and up, as well as other ferret supplies, including: water bottles, food dishes, shampoo, harnesses, sleep sacks, hammocks, litter pans, Ferretone, ferret food, hanging cubes, deodorizer, ear wash, nail trimmers, beds, and much more.
Plan to buy at least one month’s worth of food, as well as any needed supplies while here for the adoption. Buying supplies from the rescue helps pay for rescue food and vet bills.
