I was just in the PetLand at Parkway Center Mall in Greentree (just
outside Pittsburgh, PA) and they had a new crop of ferrets. They were
the healthiest, fiestiest little creatures (huge!) I've seen in a while.
I'm about 90% sure they only buy from Marshall Farms, so perhaps some of
the ill health of those ferrets in your area are from lack of proper
care? I didn't check for double incisors on all the babies, but the two
I played with didn't have them.
Were the ferrets directly in the wood chips or were they under the
ferret cage? These ferrets had wood chips under the cage -- not a lot,
the ferrets didn't touch them, and they were not cedar but unscented. It
surprised me because there are people working there who are very active
in the ferret world.

small animals at petshops is the shop's fault.]
