Happy ending for rescued ferret

When this young ferret was brought in she was scared and thin.  She’d been abandoned and hadn’t been fed or handled.   She’s a lovely light ginger colour and looked very sweet – but try and pick her up – no way was she going to let us.  Ferrets can become tame but need regular and confident handling until they learn to trust their owner.

When Pet Samaritans volunteer, Georgia saw the ferret she resolved to tame her.   Georgia was confident and gentle and was soon able to pick Rolo up.   It was a gradual process but Georgia’s expert handling soon had the little ferret’s trust.   When she asked if she could adopt her we were delighted.

Ferrets make rewarding pets but they are not for everyone.  They have sharp teeth and can bite when they feel threatened.  Lots of ferrets make excellent pets however and when they are tame they wouldn’t bite their handler.  They are intelligent and quick to learn.
 Rolo has bonded with her new friend and now has a large hutch and run and a loving home to go to – thanks Georgia, another happy ending
