Paxil Burrito

This ferret was abandoned by a dumpster at our apartment complex. I cleaned up his cage and brought him indoors. I recounted the story here. This animal exhibits an incredible ability to open and unlock things, including his cage (which I've safety-wired).

He appears to be in good shape and of good temperament (allowed me to trim toenails and bathe him [to remove the feces] within a couple of hours). The vet says Paxil is a healthy, neutered male, about 2 yrs old, 2.3 lbs. No ear tattoos. We found the vet by recommendation.

My wife named him Burrito because of the elongated ferret shape. Paxil is pharmaceutical mood-stabilizer thing, chosen for the neat sound of it (M's a pharmacy tech).
