Michele I am very sorry for your loss I know it is devestating, but I must comment on your post. You mentioned Petsmart should stop selling ferrets, Petsmart does not sell ferrets, cats,dogs, rabbits or iguanas because their phlosiphy is there are too many of these animals in shelters, they promote adoptions from shelters. I know this for a fact because I used to work for Petsmart. I am not flaming you in any way I just don't want people to be misinformed. Petsmart lends space to local animal shelters such as The Humane society, people can adopt them right from the store and all the proceeds go to the shelter, Petsmart keeps none of the money, 2 of my cats came from there. Our ferret club had a ferret awarness day in November at my local Petsmart the management was very reponsive to the Club. Like I said no flames, just information. Why buy when you can adopt.
