About Meric & Marzon
Meric the bino and Marzon the dew are brothers with Marzon being the most active. However both are still pretty high energy and very aware of thier surroundings, being mostly blind doesn't stop them knowing where an open door is. These boys do eat quite a bit of food to keep apace with thier high energy, up to 400g a night isn't unusual and they are definitely happier if they can have at least a mousy snack of a morning.
Due to the sweet nature and high energy of both boys, a home where they could free range more often than not would be best. They are not trialled around dogs, but have been ok around cats when they were youngsters and sofar haven't shown any inclination to nip.
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

Medical notes
Marzon has a squashed cornea in his left eye and both boys have vision issues. No long term care needed, just understanding
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.
