Please note: This is not a chain store related post!
 
Yesterday I was visiting a locally owned pet store (Pet World) which has
ferrets, and noticed that just that day (I'd been in the day before, too)
they put the ferrets in a 55 gal fishtank without a litterbox and with pine
bedding.  Sigh...
 
I asked the manager why the sudden change and she immediately said it is
permanent, and that they have the approval of several vets.  That is SUCH a
line of bologna I wanted to laugh in her face!
 
Does anyone out there have any letter or other correspondence written by a
veterinarian which says not to house ferrets in aromatic bedding and/or in a
fishtank??
 
This is a pet store I'd never give money to anyway.  The owner is
unscrupulous and a so-and-so from many years ago, but it had been so long
since he'd offended me that I'd started to soften....
 
Hugs to all,
