One of my ferrets, li'l Ralphalpha, who
this picture was based off of, died tonight for reasons we can't figure out. :'c
I was letting him and our two other ferrets run around for like 40 minutes before we went out for dinner, and he seemed perfectly fine when I let him out: energetic, eager, and all that he usually is. When I put him back in, he seemed kind of tired and I found it kind of odd that he was just sitting where I put him, not trying to get back out, but I figured he was just tired.
When we got back from dinner, I wanted to let them back out 'cause they weren't out for very long before, but Ralph was just laying there, and when we took him out, he was all limp and making whining noises. We brought him upstairs to call the animal hospital, but he went glassy-eyed and his nose turned from pink to white while we were on the phone, and he stopped breathing shortly after.
R.I.P. Ralphie honey, you were one of a kind, and we'll never forget about you.
