Ryan,

I can really feel your sadness. I think ferrets are one of the cutest critters that there is. I don't think their minds ever stop thinking of things to get into & finding crazy things to do....creating all kinds of laughter which is great medicine for our illnesses. Knowing that they will be taken care of & good loving homes will be found for them can give you some relief but nothing can take care of the emptiness that you feel without them. That is one critter I have always wanted as a pet only Calif doesn't allow them as pets...hopefully that will change with our Governor because he ownes them....so don't think they will be illegal for long.

I really hope your move will go well....keeping busy with that will fill your mind for a while until you get settled. You are such a great daddy to them...I am sure they will miss you too. I can't imagine having to give even one of my eskies away...I tried several times with a couple when I felt they would have a better home but they always found a way to come back to my home. How they could miss sharing a home with 10 others is beyond me. I think critters choose us more than us choosing them....even those that I breed.

Take care & know that the shelter will provide a good place until a permanent home can be found for your babies...It is good to know that people love their critters as their children like I do....even my horses are my babies...especially Izzabelle who I bonded with at 1 1/2 hours after birth. I'm sure after you get settled, you will be able to have babies again...not that they will take the place of, but you are such a good daddy I can't imagine you being without critter children again.

Hope all goes well & keep us posted once you get settled,
Debbie
