I set up a question & comment page and will add a contact page in the near future. I hate hearing stories like these. It’s hard enough going through a breakup, but splitting up a family of fuzzies is plain cruel. I would also be worried about your oldest ferret, it’s not fair that he no longer has his brother and sister and could very well get depressed. It would be a bad situation if what you described does happen. Since you can afford to keep all three and care for them, maybe you could arrange to get your fiance’ her own little kit? Then she would be free to take the new little one with her and you could keep the other three together. Tell her that it’s not about you or her, it’s about what’s good for them. Is she willing to have the older ferret become depressed, then maybe get sick and she could end up with some heavy vet bills on her hands, which it sounds like she would not be able to afford. With a new little fuzzy, your fiance' and her children can enjoy the new little guy while he is growing up. He won’t have had any brothers or sisters, so he would be more prone to becoming attached to her. If she chooses to adopt another one down the road, that will be her choice. I am going to remove these two comments from the about page, and post it on the new questions page. Maybe some other readers would like to give some advise for you also. I wish you much luck, please don’t allow her to take the little guy, just be nice about it and don’t get angry, try to be reasonable and get her to be reasonable as well. I hope this has helped some.

I've got 3 fuzzies. One albino boy, the oldest yet smallest; one albino female, and the youngest a sable that's bigger than the two albino's. The albino's are both deaf. My fiance' and I are having a difficult split up, and the ferrets are close. She wan't to keep the oldest male and take him away from his brother and sister. I worry he'll get depressed, and I hope the other two won't. If she's worried about the money I would be happy to pay to keep him, but with her personality, she wants to do anything to 'punish' me, regardless of what damage it does to the animals or her kids. What can I do to ensure the health of all three animals? She's financially unfit to care for all three, where I can with no issue's. I'm worried about the one she's planning on keeping even more than the two that will stay with me, as they will miss the brother but will still have each other. I don't know what to do. Any suggestions would be appreciated! This is the first place I found to actually type a question. I’ve got 3 fuzzies.
