what is your problem with marshall farms ferrets? yes i am aware that they are only in it for money but if you want a fuzzie that bad get over it. i have a marshall ferret and she is in perfect health. all of my friend's fuzzies came from marshall farms and they are all in perfect health. as far as i have heard (and feel free to prove me wrong with hard evidence) there has been no evidence that marshall farm ferrets are not as healthy as any others. breeders may screen potential owners but they are still in it for the money. and how old are you? not to be mean just your age can determine what you can do to convince your parents. and you might want to be careful bringing a fuzzy into a hostile enviroment. fuzzies can tell when someone doesnt like them. it will bring stress to you, your parents, and most importantly your fuzzy.
