My ferret just died.
No real warning. He just died.
He was a rescue ferret who had habits I've never seen in another ferret, like eschewing his litter box to pee on the linolum so he could lick up his own urine and pooping anywhere but in a corner.
He never stole things, never bit, never chuckled, and very rarely hopped around.
He refused to eat anything other than catfood, ignoring even the delicious vitamin-rich chicken slurry every other ferret I've ever had loved.
I have no pics. I just have a dead ferret...
An almost three hour wait until the sun goes out so I can dig him a grave since it's around 100 outside.
I'm not sure how to feel:
Sad that he's dead, or glad that I've had the chance to get to know such a fucked up ferret.

Pic unrelated and pointless

I'm sorry for your loss.
My boyfriend had a weird rescue ferret too. He was lazy and fat, and then he got cancer and died. His friend the bulldog was crushed.

I recall reading that urine-licking is common in ferrets, but I've never seen one do it.

My condolences for your loss. I hope it doesn't keep you from taking in another rescue ferret. They need all the help they can get.

Thanks, people.

I've had two rescue ferrets since I was eight. Dweezle, the one that just died, was my third rescue but my sixth ferret total.

Three died of old age, two of cancer (one had a cancerous tumor in the stomach and the other had benign growths that were making his life progressively more difficult)

I'm fairly certain this will be my last ferret for at least ten years, though. Not because I can't handle losing them, but because I'm becoming less and less able to devote time to them properly... I'm trying to get into graduate school and such... :/

Sorry buddy. I had a ferret I had to give away to Humane Society because I was going away to school. Terrible loss. Cry it out, it's a part of life.

He most likely died from the cat food, To much fiber in cat food for ferrets, sooo over time it was probably very harmfull to it. So sorry about your ferret.
