I used to know a ferret breeder in this area (Pittsburgh) and they'd
"sell" their kits to Marshall Farms for $1 each and then buy them back
for a discounted spay/neuter price (much lower than local vets were
charging). I suspect other breeders may be doing the same thing (or
maybe this is the same breeder, I dunno). The name of the people I spoke
with was Fetter. I got my Skittles from a pet store which sold their
ferrets. (And she's around 7 years old, has never lost her hair and is
still in good health)
