Many ferrets come in to rescue through no fault of their own. Each year large numbers of ferrets are bred from, resulting in many more unwanted kits. Fluffy Retreat is funded by fundraising activities and public donations. Fluffy Retreat neuters all ferrets of a legal age (unless extreme health circumstances mean it is too high risk - few and far between) All ferrets are vaccinated and microchipped.

Ferrets are well known for being clumsy, but today's random accident even stunned me...

I was mucking out and when I got to the hybrid shed Leta jumped straight over the bottom door (as she always does), so I grabbed her and put her in the carrier. Meanwhile Credence also tried to jump over the door, but failed and I thought he was still trying to pull himself up while I was grabbing Gelert, when suddenly Credence starts making the strangest noise! It takes me a moment to realise he is dangling from one claw, which he has somehow managed to slide into the big hinge of the door! Thankfully I had a bottle of oil in my hand which I gave him to bite down on while I tried to lift him out of the hinge. He was really wedged in there and unfortunately only had his nails cut during the week, so there wasn't anything I could cut off. Just had to keep gently lifting and wiggling him until it worked loose. The oil bottle took the brunt of his frustration and he immediately returned to bouncing as soon as I got him free and back on the floor, so no harm done.

The wonderful Savanna has set up a gofundme for the rescue. We have had a very expensive week in the week in Rescue with a number of emergencies coming in and needing urgent vet interventions. We are also having to replace all of our solar lights due to age and wear. So this will all help!

We are also getting to the point of having to consider replacing Bond Mansion Appartments. This is a large purpose built hutch that I built from the ground up over 10 years ago and time is taking its toll!

Do you want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money in aid of Fluffy Retreat … Savanna Morley needs your support for Fluffy retreat ferret rescue

These boys are like little elephants when they run across the floor.

Roxas and Sora have a whale of a time with their tunnels. Rikku (our feral albino ferret) is feeling super brave today and wanted to come and explore. Sekhmet is still very much struggling with the idea of interacting with anyone. But she is making very slow progress. (This time with the video 😆 oops)

Playtime is definitely less frantic now there are only 3 kits lol

Huge thank you to all at the Welsh show on Sunday. Thank you for having Fluffy Retreat stall at the show and microchipping. We took a total of £330.55 for the rescue towards vets bills

Also a massive thank you to those who donated veterinary food, merlin and litter! We came home with quite a haul! And it will help keep our food bill down for a little while!

It was lovely to catch up with everyone x

Sad vet update

Today we took Amunet (Nettle) in for exploratory surgery for a very rapid growing and abnormal mass. It was in her a**l region and unfortunately was starting to affect her bladder as well. There was no sign of this tumour two months ago when she had other surgery and it is astounding how huge it got internally in such a short space of time. She had not responded to any treatments we had tried to slow its spread and surgery to try to remove was now the only option.

The tumour was so big and aggressive and had spread too much into areas it could not be removed from. Sadly we had to make the decision to not bring her round from the anaesthetic as she would be living in so much for such a short life expectancy. This was the kindest thing we could do.

Pineapple went to the vets this afternoon for abnormal weightloss (I say abnormal, but she is at the vets every six months for abnormal weightloss, as this seems to be the normal for her!) She did come back in to the rescue recently with ear mites and this may have impacted her more than normal. The ear mites continue to be treated. She will go on to emeraid and Duk soup for the moment to try to get her weight back up to 550g

I realise I haven't posted a North coast sponsored challenge update for a few weeks. Things have been a but crazy and although I've still been doing loads of miles, my mind has been elsewhere with the rescue being so busy as well.

But at the end of week 11... there is only 34km to go! So will finish this next week! (70-80 days early lol) so if you've pledged and not yet paid.. time to get your wallets out x

Do not phone a rescue, especially one that is no where near you and then ask about whether it's best to just let your ferrets go in the wild because you can't be bothered to care for them anymore. They will die a horrible death of slow starvation, in fear. Phone your bloody vets and find out what rescues are local to you . Letting domestic animals loose in the wild is cruel, neglectful and illegal.

You get a pet, you commit to caring for them. It is not other people's responsibility to sort out for you because you can't be bothered with them anymore. Rescues are here to do what they can, but all rescues are overwhelmed, mostly by people just like this, dumping their pets because they can't be bothered any more! And phoning rescues that are nowhere near you doesn't help anyone! Phone your vets! Find out where your local rescues are that might actually be able to help and stop trying to place guilt on people who are not even close to you, and are not able to help.

You will not get a polite response anymore when you phone us threatening to cause harm by neglect or worse.
