I went into a strip mall pet store and noticed they had ferret toys.  I then
noticed a ferret in a small cage with poop built up in the corner.  Above
the cage was a sign stating do not touch cage a biter.  I called the owner
and asked several questions as to why was the ferret in such a small cage in
such bad shape.  I was told the 13 week female was a biter and not to be
handled.  To train from biting she said they let her chew on wood to dull
her teeth until she stops teething.  I told her I had never heard of this
and did not think it was true and should be done.  She argued me down and I
was getting upset as I was bout to leave.  Below this cage was a condo cage
with a 8 week male ferret sleeping in it.  I started to ask her why wasn't
the bigger ferret in the bigger cage.  When I saw some type of rabbit bigger
than a small cat or dog in a cage where it took up half.  I left.  Was I
mistaken and it does not hurt to chew on wood?  If anyone lives in Mo.  the
store is in Hazelwood.  Email mail me and I can tell you the name it is off
