Petco has only recently begun selling ferrets in the Seattle area, and
already I've taken in three 8-10 week old ferrets ("they didn't tell me
they bit!") and another 4 under 6 months.  These "fun days" are merely
another way to promote the sale of their products (both baby ferrets and
ferret ware). Please do not support this type of self-promotion!
