At a local pet shop there was for sale several ferrets for sale and over a period they slowly went, until there was just one left behind, a small albino Jill ferret. I was told that she had a tendency to nip. Undeterred I decided to pick her up and found her to be no trouble.
Time passed and I saw that the price had been reduced, so I bought her and the cage. Apparently the reason she was left on the shelf was people were put off by her red eyes. The sign attached to the cage stating that ferrets bite may also of had some thing to do with it.

Dad wanted her called Molly and I agreed it was a good name .
To watch her playing with a ball, darting about, or hiding behind the washing machine is delightful.

One thing to note with Jill ferrets, is that unless there is a desire to breed , it is wise to have them spayed, as I have done with Molly. The reason is that they will come into season in the spring, and remain so until the winter; unless “jill jabbed” with a hormone injection or mated. Being left in season can lead to health problems such as anaemia and osteoporosis or other infections..
This pumpkin weighed 88 lbs excluding molly.
