I was told she was unsold because people disliked her red eyes, but also in my view the sign attached to the cage warning that ferrets bite may also been a reason.
Dad named her Molly and I also liked the name, she was a bundle of energy, watching her playing with a ball or darting about and hiding behind the washing machine was so funny. Molly did not like to mix with other ferrets, so she was always kept and exercised alone. She was the first jill ferret I owned and lived for an estimated six years. She developed heart problems in old age and was kept going by medication; the day she died symptoms similar to a stroke, such as partial paralysis was noticed.
