    I have never owned a ferret but my friend did and they were pretty cool...at one time she had a skunk too...weird. All of my animals (minus my reptiles) are rescues. It feels good to give them a home, but if I keep doing it, they'll take over my home. I feel like I live in a zoo as is.

    Love it! We used to have 5 fuzzy children (ferrets), prior to our actual children. I've kinda been thinking now that the kids are older it may be time to welcome one or more fuzzys back to the family.

    What a cutie! I'm voting for Miska. In general I'm opposed to naming animals people names. It can be really confusing.

    We have a daughter named Lila. The people who moved in across the street have two puggles, one of them is named Lila. Every time they scold their dog our daughter looks around confused that these people are yelling at her.

    The sweet oily stuff in a tube! My ferrets would beg for it and fight each other to steal portions of it. I'm really glad you could take her and give her a good life. :) already spayed? Our lady ferret was named Elyria but your list of names is immense and great!

    We rescued a little ferret that looked much like yours with a story much as you described about 18 years ago now! She turned out to be a real sweetie. She seemed to be a bit nervous that things might go wrong again and she'd wind up being ignored... for the first couple of years she was with us she would come seek us out almost as if checking to be sure we were still there. She also developed a fondness for grooming us... wanted to try to clean ears and groom eyebrows!

    We named her Laska... which means "love", "grace" or "favor" in some Polish/Russian/other eastern European dialects. It fit her.

    She's so adorable! And you are an angel for rescuing her. Too often animals are abused because they can't ask for help!

    Weight loss could also be attributed to not having been brought out of season ?

    Thanks everyone :) I'll post more pictures when she's happy and playing.


    It's pretty funny, my boyfriend has never had a ferret before and calls them "stink weasels". He has been saying no for me wanting one forever.

    Now he wont put her down!! Carrying her around on his shoulder everywhere lol :)

    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR RESCUING HER!!!!!!!! Why do people get animals and then NOT take care of them properly??

    She has come into your life for a reason. She will bring you much joy and happiness as you will her.

    My best friend had a ferret once-it would 'steal' things and hide them in a dresser drawer in their master bedroom. I always liked going to see her 'stash' and whenever they were missing stuff they knew right where to look :o)

    Happy ferret parenting!!
