that is too bad...they should stand behind their ferrets...and deafness
CAN be tested to the satisfaction of most with simple tests...and they
can be done at your regular vet's office so he can make an educated
confirmation.
 
i DO have to say...at leat Marshall Farms does not 'quibble'..they just
give you an immediate credit where you bought the ferret...all you need
is a letter on your vet's letterhead from him/her saying the ferret is
hearing impaired...it does not even have to be totally deaf...i, and the
others i know who have gone to MF about their ferret being deaf, did not
even have to give up their ferret...
