Treated with Advocate 22/07/2024

Adoption Fee: $650 (this is due to unexpectedly high cost of cryptorchid surgery at secondary vet, receipt can be provided)

These boys are brothers and don't have the best background, luckily they have passed a vet check with no medical issues. Raki the sable was a cryptorchid with much higher drive than his brother Raikou, who ended up with a scab on the back of his neck when they were still entire and while they can be pretty full on to each other they are quite safe towards people.
I am expecting them to become even calmer once they no longer have hormones and have also had a chance to get adjusted to the loss, in time I think they could potentially be suitable for beginners. Like any young ferret though they do need to be watched around faces, as a cheeky nip could happen and it's just to be naughty.
They are ferret social but could be a bit full on for older or slower ferrets, being quite young getting out for several hours a day is essential and ensure the night is fairly quiet. When they haven't had enough playtime during the day the nights can get a bit noisy and they are excellent climbers, Raikou especially loves to spend a lot of time on the running wheel.

They are on a balanced raw mix that is fed in the evening and of a weekend they get bone or whole prey to help aid in dental health, the raw mix contains:
1.25kg chicken carcass mince
250g chicken necks or wing tips or quail necks
250g beef chunks
250g roo chunks
375g heart
63g Tripe
63g Fish
63g Kidney
