Baby Ferret questions
Saturday, March 16th, 2013I found this baby ferret in my backyard today. I’ve been feeding it cat food and I’m planning on putting up flyers to find the owner. I am not sure if the ferret is okay, its been sleeping and being very lazy mostly, and then it will eat quickly and go to the bathroom and sleep again. Is this normal?
What is another good thing to feed it? It seems to love the cat food I gave it and a little bit of peanut butter which it ate as well.
Thanks. – Claude

Bunny has it’s ears eaten off during cleaning after birth.
Wednesday, February 13th, 2013If a bunny has it’s ears eaten off during cleaning after birth. Will the bunny be deaf? I’m more concerned about the build up of scar tissue. Will other health problem be created due to possible closure of the ear opening as it heals? I just had a litter of 7 bunnies where their ears were missing. Only one ear left in the whole bunch. 🙁

Is it possible to pass disease from a pet store dog to your dog?
Tuesday, February 5th, 2013If you decide to handle a pet store puppy, is it possible to catch and carry a disease from that puppy to your dogs at home? Or do the two animals need to be in contact with each other? If you can accidentally pass on a disease, what common sicknesses are there and how do you tell the difference between a relatively healthy dog and a sick dog? 🙂 thanks in advance
