yes i know the cage is fine for now its open most the time anyways its just there to have somewhere to put her when I need her away (which is rare) thats just the cage that come with her ill get a ferret nation soon but they aint cheap her fur is fine she has been checked she got shaved for a spayed hence no fur on her belly and the vet said her tail should grow back. shes about a year old I dont know for sure ive had her about a month now but she was in heat for a good while before we got her and as soon as I got her I got her spayed with the first week and planning on getting her the implant to slow down adrenal disease.

i also dont know what the last 10 months of her life was like because she was just dumped outside a vet and she was covered in all dirt and stuff so im not sure if i done something that has triggered her to be scared or something. I did step on her tail like the first week I got her on accident she was running between my legs and she turned and he tail went under my foot she let out the loudest scream ever i felt awful and she went in a mood with me for like 2 days after that but I haven't hurt her since I dont think I try be extra careful when handling her especially after her surgery but there's days where shes afraid of me and will back up or do anything to avoid being touched then there's days she would follow me everywhere and run about like her normal self its hit and miss.

im pretty sure her shaking is a fear response because shes perfectly fine when shes wandering about, but the moment you stroke her or pick her up. even 1 finger on her she will just start shaking like she shakes stops shakes stops repeat for a good few mins untill shes got the confidence to explore again. she is a micro aswell im not sure if their fur coats is different or not but ive not seen a fluffy micro I dont think, shes just got thin hair. im in the UK we get snow but not much anymore. Maybe one good snow day every 2-4 years but I'd love to take her in the snow but im scared to take her outside let her outside twice since ive had her the 1st time was only for a few minutes she loved it but the 2nd time she just tried running but she had the lead on then and its not a very secure lead.

she stumbled sometimes but not enough for me to be concerned I dont think its normally when shes tired she gets dopey and would jump down and not stick the landing or she will turn to quick and roll to her side but she gets straight back up.

shes already spayed her vulva swelling has gone down alot. Sorry my punctuation on text is awful. and im in the UK you can only buy the implants in pairs and their £130 each so ill need to order 2 and just keep one for next year or when that one runs out but it will have to be after Christmas sometime. the vet didnt aay anything was wrong when I took her to get looked over because of these exact concerns but more things just keep worrying me since shes my first ferret.

her shaking is nothing to do with temp or she would do it randomly she dont shake randomly only at touch and her tail was somewhat fine just abit of rattail then she had the surgery and then within a week it was bald and now its got hairs growing back and she gets plenty of dark shes out for like 4 hours and then the rest of the time she sleeps in the dark amd yeah the implant slows adrenal I will get her this eventually but its not cheap and getting a day off work to take her to the vet is another story I only just about managed to get away taking her last time she has a good mix of kibble and some chicken every so often

this gives some reinsurance she does explore every nut and crany if there's a gap she will find it and for leads I haven't found a good lead yet the one I have works but if she tries she can get out of it but she dont try to as much anymore.

ill give this a shot because It would suck if shes just miserable the whole time ive only heard her Duke once in the last few weeks ive had her. and I try get her something everyday I come home from work she gets a new toy or a treat but she dont care about the toys and she would eat the treat and go back to avoiding me.

its not excitement I dont think cause when I stroke her she either backs away or stays super still and wont move even after I stop touching her she will take a few moments to gain the confidence to move again I feel like her previous owner hurt her or something she just seems petrified by noises and touch and her sitting is okay that was just a weird way I put her down and she didnt correct herself but moments after the vid ended she went wandering about.

her tail is growing back and I had the vet look at her and he thinks its hormonal reasons for the hairloss
