I don't know about other problems with MF ferrets but I was given credit at the pet store where I bought my deaf DEW, Al. I had to send a vet's note certifying that he was deaf (i.e. does not respond to any normal sounds) and a copy of his warranty certificate to Marshall Farms. It was a royal pain to actually GET the credit from the pet store but I used it for supplies that went to a local shelter. The whole experience gave me just one more reason why I should have gone to a shelter..... but AL is happy and in my mind he was a rescue, saved from being returned by someone who couldn't deal with being deaf!
