I'm a big petco freak over here in Long Island - I go to Petco atleast
every other day to look at the animals and go to other pet stores also.
The petco my sisters boyfriend works at they have a "bird room" they keep
all the birds in and its a not that small room with a closed door and all.
During the night when they are going to close up the employees stay after
about a hour or two to play with the ferrets (1 or 2 of the employees are
picked and then paid the extra hour or two to spend the time to play with
them).  So the ferrets get atleast 1 or 2 hours a day of play time which
isn't much but still worth that little time to run around and play.
