I've never made one of these posts, and never will, but I think it's pretty
obvious that the people giving up their ferrets want to make sure they get
the very best of care.
 
Sure, there are many inexperienced people that will make excellent ferret
care givers, but there are others that practically kill their ferret due to
their inexperience and uncaring nature.  Though lets not forget that some
"experienced" people don't do so great either.  But the odds are in your
favor if they have some experience.
 
Would you be willing to give your ferrets to someone on a 50/50 chance
they'll get the proper care?
 
For the ferrets,
Mike
