In Minnesota, Nutrical is available "over the counter" at any good pet food
store. It runs about $13 a tube. Also, in Minnesota, ferrets at pet stores
usually cost about $139. Some are more expensive but they usually come with
starter packages too. Breeders tend to be more expensive. Shelters ask for
donations of $60+ for a younger, healthy ferret.
