This is in response to Nancy who works at a pet store that sells Marshall
Farm ferrets.  I recently bought a Marshall Farm ferret from a pet store
and according to the certificate they gave me for Cosmo, he was
approximately 5 1/2 weeks when they shipped him.  The certificate stated
his approximate date of birth as 1/9 - 1/15 and it was signed as shipped
on 2/25.  The certificate also states he is altered & has had his first
shots.  I agree that they are being shipped too early.  And isn't 5 weeks
or younger toooo young to be altered & have their first distemper?  I don't
support what Marshall Farms does to their pets, but I bought one because I
feel at least I "saved" one of them.
