Fuzzball walks funny
I can't help but wonder if there is something wrong with Fuzzball's front legs. I suspect that her first owner might have fed her sub-optimal food during her essential developmental phase. Her front legs seem a bit bowed or something. When you look at her walking, her front end seems to be just a bit lower to the ground than one might expect.

Given that the "original owner" (as opposed to the pet store she got Fuzzball from) fed her kitten food (as opposed to oh, say, ferret food), I wouldn't be surprised.
Does it make it difficult for her to walk now? Or just that she walks funny?
Poor baby.
Yeah, there's a big debate about food for ferrets. Some say that a high quality kitten food is OK (key words: high quality), others say that it absolutely has to be a special ferret formula. Others say that it has to be straight prey.
I don't know if it makes it hard for her to walk or not, but it might explain why she doesn't scamper around like Chaos does and has so much less stamina.
Given that the kitten food she "encouraged" was Purina, and grocery store purina at that, I doubt it could be classified as "high quality."
So yeah, that would make a lot of sense.
