This is what I sent to Petsmart. I am also going to send something minus the first paragraph to Petco. __________________________________________ The ferret information on your website shows ferrets sleeping on wood shavings. I am sure it was just an oversight, but ferrets sleep in hammocks and are allergic to cedar wood shavings and can produce serious respiratory problems. Many people use the carefresh litter that you sell, or wood pellets for wood stoves, no cedar. How about showing the ferrets on hammocks and have a link to sell them on your website. I think you could sell a lot of hammocks that way. Also there are lots of ferret sites that would love to have you link to them, thus providing more information about and for ferrets. Just a few I can think of are: To get the correct link to click on maximize your message screen. http://www.ferretcentral.org/faq/ http://incolor.inetnebr.com/ferrets/brochures hey what about making these brochures available to customers and definitely to those who purchase a ferret? http://www.geocities.com/ferret_friends_2000/ http://exoticpets.about.com/cs/ferrets/index.htm?once=true& http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ferret-Health-list/ http://www.ferretdoctor.com/MedInfo.htm http://www.geocities.com/ferretlover96/ferrets/gravy-bob.html http://www.ferrettv.com/ Electronic Ferret Post Cards: http://www.bratbabiespostcards.com/fuzziecards1.htm Ferret collector and fun stuff: http://www.geocities.com/strangebeasts/ferrettoons.html http://www.sluggy.com/d/ http://www.geocities.com/crochetkat/ferret/index.html http://userdata.acd.net/ferret/afghans.html http://members.aol.com/vwferrets/index.html http://www.ferretware.com/content/map.html http://www.critterclips.com/MM033.ASP?pageno=36&cat=Ferrets Products for Ferrets, some that your store supplies, but lots more they don't.

Also, would you mind carrying glass hanging water bottles for small animals? I have found they smell like gasoline inside, which I think makes the water taste bad and who knows what chemicals they are getting. Also glass water bottles are so much easier to clean and sterilize because they can go right into the dishwasher. To see what they look like and who manufactures them go to http://www.ferretstore.com/16ozwatbot.html and look about halfway down the page. Thanks for listening.
