Well, my husband spoke to MF about some of the petstores here in
Chattanooga, tn, they then took down the names and information.  They then
directed my husband to our local distributer for further assistance.  The
distributer was really nice.  They directed us to two other petstores in
the area that are good to deal with, and are really good about ordering
specific sexes, markings, etc for customers, and all.  He said Petco in
Cleveland Tn, and then they said there was one petstore named Classic
Pets that was really good.
 
So called both, and the Petco was a little misinformed BUT was eager to
learn and stayed on the phone.  That made me happy.  The Classic Pets was
eager to learn plus seemed very caring.  So we drove there (almost an
hour away).  And my gosh I could not believe my eyes.
 
Classic Pets was emaculate.  I mean you could run a white clove over
anything.  Even this gorgious tank with firebelly frogs, had huge healthy
specimens (never saw any like that in a store before), and the water was
crystal clear.  Mind you there were a doz in there, and they eat many
crickets a day, and many are missed and drown making that water really
icky daily.  Ok so onto the ferrets.
 
The kittens were loose to play for excercise.  And the lady directed me to
the ferret products,,, everything you could want, and explained each one
to me!  Then ok, we went to the ferrets.  Pefect cage.  Small but perfect.
And they were happy, spritely, and wow.
 
I wanted to say too that we had spoken to them at 3pm and they had no
shipment ok?  The distributer said they would get one by 6pm.  They said
it was more likely near 5pm.  We arrived at four thirty and they had just
arrived and were being put up.  I must say I was a bit shocked.
 
The kits were hydrated, spunky, fat, and had NO odor (in other words were
not packed so as they deficated and urinated all over each other.  I was
so relieved.
 
Now I must say this was ONE visit.  I'm not saying all shipments go this
well.  I'm not saying this store is always this great.  But it was such a
breath of fresh air I must say. :)
 
What?  What do you mean did I go home empty handed?  You must really think
I'm some kind of chump.  You must think we have no will power at all.
Hmmmf.  What's that?  Oh its the new baby... its awake...gotta go!
