You know what?  It would be a really wonderful thing if you chose to rescue
one of those poor fuzzies in the bad pet stores and while you are handing
them your precious money also hand the owner if possible or the manager at
the least a nice copy of the ferret FAQ and any other info.  you can print
out concerning bad wood shavings and etc....  Let them know they will
protect their big investment by giving top notch care to these little guys
and they will have to deal with less illness problems too.  I get great
satisfaction rescuing critters that really need it rather than wonderful
little ones that are already being properly cared for.  It takes a special
kind of person to pass up the great situations and go for the ones that need
you the MOST.  You might give it a thought and you might make a great
difference in the lives of all future animals coming into that particular
shop.  Wouldn't that be a wonderful feeling?  Hoping you consider this too.
THANKS!
