Hugs and dooks to all.
 
I went into a petstore in Prince George, BC and they had a very,very small
cinamon baby ferret.  I noticed in the cage that there was dry food in the
dish and the litter box was quite high and big in the cage.  I asked the
lady working there how old the kit was and she said 12 weeks, I argued
with her and said no way.  My boy was 10 weeks when I got him and he was
alot bigger than this little girl.  She said she would go check and come
back and tell me.  I asked her where they got her from and she said she's
a marshall ferret from New York.  She came back and looked at me pretty
guilty saying I was right, from her papers she appeared to be only 7 or 8
weeks old.  I asked to hold her, she was so sweet.  I told the lady to
moisten her food, she's too young to eat hard stuff, and get a smaller
litter pan in there.  Also to put some toys in for her and a hammy, they
had her sleeping in a milk jug with pine shavings.  I told them, get rid
of the pine shavings and put a soft blanket in there.  The lady did what I
asked her.  I told her this little one is too small, she still had a raw
looking belly from the spay.  I wish I could have taken her home, but I
couldn't afford the $249 dollars they wanted for her.  I told them I would
be back from time to time to check up on the ferrets they bring in.  She
was pretty meek about it and I have gone back numerous times but they have
not had another ferret.  I asked and they said they are having a hard time
getting them from Marshall's??  Anyways the experience I had turned me off
of Marshall's because they sent this little one out so young.  I really
don't think they care, they just want money.  Sorry so long but I had to
throw my 2 cents in.
