About Pixie & Bozo
Vet checked in January 2024
Treated with Revolution 09/12/2023
Full balanced raw diet, https://holisticferretforum.com/natural-diet/raw-diet-the-meat-of-the-site/basic-frankenprey-menu/
Pixie and Bozo are a retired breeding couple that were kept in a tin shed in full sun, Bozo had to endure a few more years than Pixie of this life. It is unknown how many litters Pixie had, just that she was never split from Bozo during this time and thier diet was pretty poor.
Even with all this both of them have been safe around young teenagers and adults alike though Pixie occasionally talks with her teeth, which may spook some people. She is however very gentle about it and they may be ok with a first time owner, one who understands ferret love nibbles.
Changing the diet from species appropriate raw to kibble can easily cause behavioural issues and weight loss, as well as shortened life expectancy.
Adoption details
Meet and greet with any adoptables you are interested in is strongly advised, before making a decision on who will become a part of your family.
There is a adoption form to fill out once a decision is finalized and any adopted out are to come back into care if they no longer have a place with the adopter, this is to ensure they have a familiar place to settle back down.
There is a trial period of 2 months for all in care, during this time if the pet is not settling in well or another problem occours then a new companion can be trialled or adoption fee refunded depending on the health of the pet. Outside of the 2 month trial period advice, help and food (at cost), will still be provided.
Please do not ask for a intact rescue as refusal often offends and it's in the best interest of the companion pet they have this done first, exceptions will only be made for those well known by me.
