I'm considering adopting a 1-year-old male ferret who lost one of his hind feet when he was a kit (his mother bit it off during grooming). The ferret is out of state and I will have to decide without meeting him in person. Does anyone have experience with a ferret with this disability? What are the "special needs" I could anticipate? I have had plenty of other "disabled" ferrets, but never one with this particular issue. Just want to be sure I can provide him with the right kind of home. Our ferrets are confined to one ferret-proofed room of our house, we have wood floors (will that be hard on his stump?), and a multi-level cage (I could close it off to give him a single-level home if needed).
Any advice welcome.
Thanks.
