In regard to ALL the chatter about MF ferrets, I would like to add my 2
cents.  I work at a small pet store and the owner goes and hand picks her
ferrets.  They have been doing this for 8 years and have dealt strictly
with Marshall Farms and none of the ferrets have been less than 6 weeks
old, healthy and vigorous.  I believe and know of pet stores that buy
ferrets from ferret dealers not associated with Marshalls and then go to
distributors and pick up papers that are intended for Marshall's ferrets
and give them away with their non-Marshall's ferrets and convince people
that they are Marshall's.  So give Marshall's a break.  I have 8 ferrets
from there and they were all 6 weeks or older when I received them.  Not
everyone out there are honest store owners and they know Marshall's long
standing and reputation and try to pull one over on their customers.
