I sent off a note to PetSmart.com product suggestion email and and this is
the reply I've received back. If enough of us sent them a note, it would
probably stress the importance of this issue.

>Please research ferret health problems. You will find that wood chip

>Ferrets do not 'nest'. They like to burrow into blankets and sheets

>alternative. New owners presume that because you sell these items in your
>ferret store, they are safe to use.
