Not only did my Delilah come 5 months late but she came with a broken knee that wouldn't bend or rotate and a foot that wouldn't come off, not even when I heated it up. It ended up snapping off, leaving the peg inside. Ashton Drake wouldn't answer any emails I sent about this, so beware. I ended up making her a prosthetic leg.. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726715699839627686.post-15612701577129104022014-01-03T17:58:26.529-05:002014-01-03T17:58:26.529-05:00Hey Emily.

I have a 7 month old (very cute) ferret myself. I did a little experiment, I turned on some baby cooing sounds but nothing really happend. My ferret just layed in my arms, looking all kinds of adorable, licking my hand. I think my ferret is broken ;).
