Sandy is a year and 8 months old, I raised her from about 2 weeks old along with 2 other siblings that I released when they were ready. I kept sandy because she has neurological issues, she has always been really sweet, funny, playful, and a joy to have...for me.
Once she hit about 12 weeks, she has always hated my fiance. She will chase him out of the room, chirp at him, swat at him through the bars if he gets close.
A little over a week ago, I came home from work and Sandy decided I wasn't her friend anymore, my heart is broken. I cant touch her, get close to her cage, or she goes into attack mode, much like she has done to my fiance all this time. I cant clean her cage because she wont let me in it, the only way Ive been able to get her food bowl in and out is by threatening to spray her with water, she retreats to the top of her cage for a few moments while i as quickly as I possibly can, open the door and swap out her food.
She is on the SBD diet, always has been. She used to come out for play time often, in fact, the weekend before all the happened, she let me give her a bath and loved it! We played for 3 hours that weekend and she showed no signs of aggression or that anything was wrong.
I dont know what to do. I still go see her every day, and sit with her, and try to bribe her with food, and as soon as she eats the food, she wants to eat my face.
I know shes a wild animal at heart, and sometimes this just happens. I guess my question is, do I adapt and try and give her the best life possible since she does have neuro problems, and find a way to block off her cage to clean it, or should I try and find someone to release her, since she can possibly never be let out of her cage again. Her cage is huge, I have her in a triple ferret nation cage.
I just want the best for her, and I thought I was it..maybe I was wrong.
