Someone posted a few days ago about having purchased a ferret under the
impression that it was a Marshall Farms animal -- but that it had no tattoos.
Well, dummy here did the same thing :P
Apparently my boyfriend noticed when we bought them that Bumblebee had
the tattoos but Kili did not. I didn't notice! I guess seeing all the little
spuds running around flashing their tattoos I just assumed Kili had his too.
Is this at all common? Or was I duped by the pet store? We DID receive the
MF post-cards and info packets for both ferts.
Not that MF keeps track or anything, but they DO guarantee that their
animals have been neutered/descented. I'm assuming they would wash their
hands of Kili if there was a problem, but no tattoos.
No, I'm not panicking, but am I correct in assuming that if Kili had NOT
been neutered that it would be obvious? There would be visible testicles,
correct? He is approx. 13 weeks old.
I've never had a male fert before (I've always been a little afraid of a
ferret who gets that big!) so I don't know anything about their male
anatomy, except of course to look for the "spout" ;)
I'm going to have a few choice words for the pet store if my big bruiser
Kili is not only NOT Marshall Farms but isn't neutered either.
