Subject: [ferrethealth] lump
I just received two sweet tempered ferrets from a friend as a gift. I
have some basic questions and a serious one. First and most important
there is a nearly golf ball sized lump on the lower belly of one, grey
and hairless. I was told that it has been there for years and that
they were told to let it be. what could this be?
My other questions are about housing and food. They are currently
eating puppy and cat food with occasional cooked and raw meat scraps.
They are housed in a nearly fridge sized cage, but it is taller than
wide (though I could tip it over I suppose.). They can't seem to climb
very well so they just hang out on the bottom.
I am currently on a tight budget, but I might be able to manage some
changes...what would you guys suggest? I do have a smaller cube cage
with shelves--should I just switch to that so they can get to the
hammocks?
Thanks
