Hi just an update of the intact boys at the dirty pet store. I finally just decided to look into this myself. I went yesterday and could see one of the boys through the window of the store. He's a big silver guy, and his brother is a big sable. They are about 7.5 mths old, not too stinky, with too long nails. In typical pet store cages with wood chips and signs that say I will bite. Well, despite the signs and not actually putting my fingers in the cage the silver one did nail me on the finger, drew blood etc. I just got a paper towel from the store guy, and told him, my fault totally, don't worry about it. I guess someone was "showing"? there ferret at the fair grounds here, and it? had just had a litter so that's where these guys came from. I don't think they're overlly aggressive, just HUGE and haven't been handled much. Since I'm laid off I hope to get in there a few times a week, with some gauntlet gloves, and play with them and help them do their nails. I hate to help out a $$ directed business, but I hope you'll agree that it's in the fuzzies best interest to be handled and groomed properly. Then I can insinuate myself into their good books and maybe get them housed better, with some toys. I'd love to take them home and socialize them, but I'd hate to do that for a pet store. I don't know... Lara Ferret Dancer Rescue [Posted in FML issue 3664]
