If you have ever stepped foot in our Nature Nook you know the musky scent that greeted you. Flash the Ferret (a member of the weasel family) has been an amazing member of our Discovery Center family for over five years.
He has put a smile on hundreds of visitors to the Discovery Center and was a favorite and essential part of the Nature Nook experience.
For the past several months Flash has been treated for a tumor on his pancreas, not an uncommon illness for older ferrets. Earlier this month we had to make the tough decision to put our dear friend to sleep. His frail little ferret body was no longer able to fight the effects of the disease.
He was a special critter to many folks and he will be greatly missed here at the Center. Thank you to all of those who visited him, played with him and took him out for his daily walks- he appreciated all the love and attention very much.
Poor Flash, He will certainly be missed by many. He brought a lot of smiles to visitors young and old alike.
