I have bought a male Ferret from a local pet store, he is now
1 1/2 years old, so far I have had no problems with him, for the
exception that he made a nest inside my new sofa, made a make-shift
burro in my wife's favorate plant and has dug several holes thru our
carpet and is now working on the plywood under it.
 
 My concern is that I have heard rumors that Marshall Farms Ferrets
sometimes have defects, tumors, extra toenails, etc. that develope
after a couple years, being that my Ferret was raised from Marshall
Farms I am concerned of these defects in the future.
 
 Please respond if you have and knowledge of Marshall Farms.
 
 Thanks, Bob.
