Do you have other monitors?

Maybe you should not have given him away to somebody he runs from?

He is beautiful and I wish him luck.

A ferret is possibly more work from a certain standpoint than a baby monitor, but an adult monitor.....:glare:

He looks a little dehydrated (wrinkles all over the body and dusty dry coloration)
Be sure your friend provides a large water dish and keeps the humidity around 70%. It is still early so this could be from the previous keepers, before you took it in but something to keep an eye on.

Thanks for the update.
