Ben & Jerry
On September 4, 2008, Ben & Jerry were brought to us by a woman who
said she was allergic to them.
It is rare to be brutally allergic to a ferret, but this woman wasn`t kidding!
She tearfully told us how much she loved Ben & Jerry, and how she was
hoping it would just go away--but it had gotten worse...
She pulled up the sleeves of her sweatshirt, and the legs of her
sweatpants, exposing the hives & scabs that covered her body.We were in
shock. We had never seen such a mess, and we knew immediately, that
she really, really had to give up her ferrets.
Ben & Jerry were less than a year old. It broke her heart to leave them
behind, but she was comforted, knowing they would be staying here with
us. (We promised!)
Ben & Jerry get along well with all of the other ferrets, but they run with
the Star Wars group.This picture was taken in Dec. 2009.
More later!
Love, Zoo

It`s been a long time since my last update. I`ve been busy caring for our little ones, and haven`t had the time to work on our site.
We lost our Ben on July 15th of this year.
Jerry is almost six years old now, and has insulinoma. He isn`t stable--even with meds, and we`re not sure how much time he has. He`s getting lots of love, and extra soup. He`s really a wonderful little boy...
