Heather in Mass, you were right on when you said Marshalls does not offer
assistance to shelters.  Because Marshall ferrets are now the only ferret
being sold in my area, they are the only breed of ferrets I have in my
shelter.  I contacted Marshalls to see if they could offer any assistance
to my shelter since I was caring for their unwanted babies.  I have not
heard a word from them.  I asked for assistance from Totally ferret as
well and have heard from them.  We will see how this goes with Marshall
farms.
 
FYI- 2 years ago I was in a local pet store to do a follow up on a male
prolapsed rectum baby Marshall farms ferret.  I asked the pet store owner
what Marshalls had said.  He wanted them to pay for the surgery to be done
on the little guy.  Well, Marshall farms reaction was.......PUT THE BABY
IN THE FREEZER AND THEY WOULD SHIP HIM A REPLACEMENT ON HIS NEXT ORDER!!!!
The pet store owner was disgusted.  He gave custody of the ferret to his
vet, the surgery was done and the vet staff found him a home.  This is all
I am saying on this matter.  I don't want to get involved in the bashing
and all I don't like MF but I will continue to care for their unwanted
babies.
