Hi, I rescued a ferret from a lady on Craigslist this past Friday. I didn't expect him to be in as bad of shape as he was when I got there. She had left him outside in the sun (I live in Florida so 95 degrees + right now) without any water. He was living in a wire bottom cage and eating Kibbles 'N Bits. Needless to say, he was very underweight when I went and grabbed him and very dehydrated. I was worried he wouldn't even make the ride home.

His appetite is great now and he is a very happy little guy. He gets let out many times a day to run around and nap in my room and has stolen the hearts of my boyfriend and I. He is about 7 months old according to his previous owner and I believe he is a Marshall ferret because of the 2 tattooed dots on his ear.

He's still pretty skinny but looking worlds better from where he was. You can still see almost every rib in his body, his spine and his hip bones when he stands. 

Without further ado, here's Slinky.
