Mocha

Mocha - Stealthmaster, Chonkzilla, Fluffiest of them all

Lore

Mocha is currently one of the largest ferrets at Snail's House

Mocha sleeps in the cage with the oldies. During playtimes Mocha frequently sleeps in various parts of the room, however he tends to be active and play with the younger ferret groups when they're out at the same time. One of his frequent playtime tactics is to crawl into a tube and stop in the middle of it, then attempt to defend the path and block other ferrets from getting in.

Medical

Mocha is one of the ferrets in the rescue with a confirmed ( Latte shown in the video) case of DIM. DIM is a lifelong autoimmune condition that atrophies soft tissue in the body including muscles. When he first arrived he was immobile and unable to support himself.

Both Mocha and Latte (a.k.a. Hawk) have been undergoing physical and hydrotherapy treatment which have improved their situation a lot. Next to this they have been undergoing chemo therapy to combat the the disease.

He's doing much better now and is able to run around and play with the other ferrets.
