I recently purchased a ferret form my local pet store.
They had two ferrets avaiable. I told them I wanted a male. They handed me
a good size ferret, supposedly male, I didn't go checking. I did check
ears, feet, teeth, etc. and HE looked healthy. They said he was 3 months
old and that the kid who owned him previously (briefly) was in trouble with
the law and had to return HIM.
A few days later, I take HIM to the vet to get checked out and shots, and it
turns out that he is a SHE. I felt stupid, but I really didn;t have reason
to look. I rely on the vet to check and see if the ferret is healthy. The
vet also said that the animal was 6-8 months old.
I wonder how often this pet store lies to sell a pet, to customers who ask
for somehting else. Kind of a a bait and switch. I just want to put the
store on report publicy
