I just got some ferrets that someone was giving away because they were moving & couldn't keep them. I went 2 pick them up, put them in the van with their penthouse cage. I saw that they were alive & pretty, said thanks exchanged info & left. When I got home & took them out they smelled horrible (even more than any ferret or the ferret I currently owned) like they had not had a bath. After checking them they were filled with flees, I bathed them dissinfected their cage & waged all their beddings. I can't believe someone would treat them that way. Their hair was matted & they were scratching like crazy even had bald patches. Well, I plan on taking them to the vet 2morrow 4 a check-up but I was wondering..my ferret is young, I don't know how old these are. Is there some way 2 tell. Their teeth are pretty long longer than any other 1-3 yr old ferrets I've had. It's the saddest thing, they fell asleep right after their bath. Just wonderin the age 2 know care & handling better etc. Thanks :)

By the way, one is black and white and the other white with brown. I am also looking for names....more along the lines of lucky and second chances. I would post pics but their sleeping. Also anything I could put on them for the itch?
