I put my 2 cents in once before and I'd like to do it again. I am the one whos works in a privately owned pet store where the owner "hand picks" the ferrets herself. WE fill the Marshall's Farms paper work where it says date of birth, color, markings etc. We do not leave it up to the customer. It is our job because we have chosen the ferrets and we know what they are (blaze, silver mitt, sable or combinations of types) The minute the ferrets are brought to us, (NOT SHIPPED) we weight them and fill out the papers BEFORE they are sold and have been doing this for the 9 years we have sold Marshall's ferrets. thank you for listening, I feel better now.
