About Falaia & Farni
Vet checked 08/07/2024
Treated with Advocate 22/07/2024
While these girls may have different mothers, they have been living as a group with the other young ones for a while now and can be adopted with thier sisters but not alone as they need the support. Farni the cinnamon is a little firecracker and can start arguing randomly with her siblings, it's all noise though so things soon settle.
Falaia is much sweeter to her siblings and Farni can be too much for her, so they would be better with other siblings. Falaia is also quite sweet to people when she knows she can trust them, Farni can be spicy or sweet and it's always interesting with her.
These girls coped the best after desexing and were aware of everything alot faster, they have also been the most stable in new environments. Single level cage with low hammocks only to reduce strain on thier bodies due to poor genes from inbreeding.
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

Adoption details
Please do not ask for a intact rescue as refusal often offends and it's in the best interest of the companion pet they have this done first, exceptions will only be made for those well known by the rescue. There is a adoption formula to fill out and a picture of the cage is required, they need a cage so they can have a place specifically thier own
All ferrets adopted out are required to be kept on a balanced raw diet, they will smell worse on a incorrect diet as it messes with thier systems and due to not having a caecum they cannot digest plant or vegetable matter. Full balanced raw diet and the vet trips they may need, along with the initial cost of cage or items can be a little pricey.
Phone calls may be made to talk in person about adoption or to offer advice about the crazy wonderful characters in care and you will need to have rental approval if in rental, as sadly small companion pets are classed as livestock so not protected by the companion animals act.
