Beezel's history is one of abuse. Some people don't know how to properly care for ferrets and the ferrets suffer for it. Beezel is one of many.
Beezel was kept in a terrilby small cage (hamster size) and fed and watered only when his owners thought about it. Beezel would bite because he was starving, frustrated from not being able to be physically active, and from being cramped in the tiny cage so the people didn't want to stick their hands in to refill food and water. Biting resulted in physical abuse.
A friend in CO heard about Beezel and that he was going to be euthanized if a home couldn't be found. She knows I work with difficult ferret cases and asked if I would take him. I said yes and Beezel's journey began. He stayed with my friend for a month before his move to Kansas.
It's been almost a year now and Beezel gets nippy when he is stressed or upset, but that's because he's had a cruel and damaging past. Beezel's cage is large with 2 full levels and 2 ledges, filled with clean comfy hammocks and bedding, toys, several dishes of fresh food and water, a large litter box, and his 2 favorite ferret friends.
Beezel doesn't get along with some of the other ferrets, so I've divided the house for separate out-of cage areas to keep everyone safe and allow them plenty of time and room to exercise and play. Beezel sometimes plays but not as much as the other ferrets his age. I hope that one day Beezel's cruel past will be gone from his memory and be replaced with gentle loving memories of how his life is now.
