RIP Twitch

Twitch came into my life last April 22nd when I rescued him and his brother Tweak from some horrible owners.

I wasn't sure if they were even going to make it past a few days because they were so skinny and wouldn't eat. After over 2 weeks of force feedings a couple times a day they both started eating on their own and gaining weight. They thrived after being here for even a short time.

Twitch will always have a place in my heart because he is unforgetable. He was so different from the other ferrets. He was so tiny and always wanted to be under foot or even on your feet just looking up at you. He didn't like being picked up and would start dooking around like crazy if you placed him back on the floor, yet come back for more in seconds.

I'm not sure what it was that took him from me but I'm happy knowing his last year was a happy one.

Poor little guy. :(

At least he had a good home before he left.

Sorry for your loss. He was a cutie!:(

Sorry to hear that at least you gave him a much better life then he previously had.

thank you

I'm glad that his brother Tweak still has our other ferret Vegas to keep him company

So sorry... what a cutie he was. I'm sure he had the best life a ferret could have with you. ***hug***

Hey you did your best! thats all anyone could ask! He's in a great place now, and you can remember him for his greatness! Keep your head up, knowing you gave him the best year of his little life! :sunny:

Such a cute carpet shark. I'm sure he had a blast in his time with you, ferrets most definately thrive on love. I'm very sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry you lost your little buddy, but I'm glad that he and his brother had you and knew a loving hand and a full belly and all the joys of being a beloved ferret before he went!

Awww sorry to hear about that. Atleast the little guy had a great life while in your care. I'm sure he and his brother are very great full to have you as an owner!

I'm very sorry. What a little cutie he was.

sorry to hear. i know how ferrets are, you get real attached to them fast. Glad to hear twitch had a happy last year, you gave it all you had. Once again, sorry to hear the loss.

I called my vet today to let her know that Twitch had died and she said it could have just been a natural death. She estimated him to be around 6 years old and ferrets really don't live much past that, some up to 8 years but it's not common.

I feel better knowing that she doesn't think I did anything wrong or missed any signs of illness.

Thanks everyone for your kind words :)

Aw, I am sorry about that Jenn. I am definately sure that you improved his life while he was with you.
