About 2.5 months ago, I went into a Petco here to get some supples for my
pets.  While I was there, I was talking to the manager, who is also a
ferret mom, and the new ferrets were delivered.  These babies came from
Marshall Farms.  I waited while they got things ready and then put the
little ones out.  I was shocked!  These babies each fit in the palm of my
hand.  There were 2 of them, one male and one female.  They were crying
and confused and looked so lots.  The manager guess them to be at best, 4
weeks old, which my vet later confirmed.  I bought the chocolate sable male
because her was so much smaller.  I let him stay with the female he came
in with until she was placed a few days later.  When I got him home, he
screamed to be fed,screamed to be held, just screamed in general.
 
He is now just under 3 months old, and has finally decided to get along
with at least one of our other kids He is close to 2 pounds and one of
the sweetest kids I have ever met.  He is also the most mischievious!
 
Anyway, my point in writing, if I have one, is that while I loathe MF for
sending out kits so young, I am glad I was there to find my Mocha,as he has
greatly enriched our lives.
