Just to make a few comments on this posting......MSU (Michigan State
University) does have minks...not ferrets..(this is coming from a
research associate from MSU). They use minks for humane research and
are under extensive scrutiny by regulations. Otherwise..their research
would not be publicized or funded...for that matter.
I have purchased ferrets from Preusses Animal House in Lansing. They
are wonderful ferrets! They do not sell them by age, but by a mandatory
weight. Meaning their well past the 8 weeks of age by the time the
public can bring them into their homes. They also have a first time
free visit to the vet. I do not want to start any unwanted controversy,
however, we need to keep things in perspective. MSU is a wonderful,
integrated university that strives to expand their students minds.
