Herby is 4 1/2 years old.  He came to us in May of 2005.  Herby's previous owner was taking him to be put down the day we got him.  The p.o. said that Herby had chronic diarreah and an enlarged spleen and that the vet thought he should be put to sleep.  Thank God Herby made his way to us!  He is early adrenal and does need surgery, however he is the spunkiest little man I have ever known.  Herby's favorite way to get my attention is to sneak up on me while I am working on the computer and bite me on the rear!!  He is an amazing little ferret.
