I have seen several references on this list to MF having a not-so-hot reputation. Down here, (south-east Texas), all the vets and petstores have told us that Marshall Farms is one of the best breeders. Is the problem customer-service related or is there something I don't know about the ferrets? Just wondering. Two of our fuzzballs are MF babies, & the newest we don't know were he came from, but he has no ear tattoos. Shannon, Sterling, Pandora, & Jasmin [Posted in FML issue 3504]
