I have a suggestion for those of you who see a ferret in unacceptable or
inadequate conditions but don't know how to approach the situation. Not
everyone has the big mouths that some of us have ;).
Be prepared. Keep a few copies of ferret information in your car. Many of
the local & national groups have info sheets or brochures readily available
for the asking. The Ferret FAQ is filled with info you can print out & have
ready to hand out. The benefit of presenting printed info from an
*organization* is that it implies credibility. The people selling animals
hear the same stuff we do (both good & 'where did you get that'?!!!) - so
why should they listen to joe blow (which is probably what they're saying to
themselves when we offer our *expert* advice)? Having info from more than
one source will carry even more weight because, for the mostpart, we (clubs,
organizations, rescues) all agree on how to care for a pet ferret.

GDFA - What is a Ferret?

These are just 2 sources of info. The FAQ has many links to other sources
of info.
If the ferret community doesn't watch out for theses *for sale* creatures,
who will?
