I don't know about other problems with MF ferrets but I was given credit at
the pet store where I bought my deaf DEW, Al.  I had to send a vet's note
certifying that he was deaf (i.e. does not respond to any normal sounds)
and a copy of his warranty certificate to Marshall Farms.  It was a royal
pain to actually GET the credit from the pet store but I used it for
supplies that went to a local shelter.
 
The whole experience gave me just one more reason why I should have gone to
a shelter..... but AL is happy and in my mind he was a rescue, saved from
being returned by someone who couldn't deal with being deaf!
