Happy 3rd Birthday to Sage the ferret ๐Ÿค

Of our 3 ferrets, Sage can be identified by his red eyes and white fur. This is caused by albinism, meaning his body doesnโ€™t produce pigment!

Sage and our other ferrets live in our Farmyard Zone, come down and see them! ๐Ÿค

Happy birthday Sage! ๐ŸŒฑ3๏ธโƒฃ
