I was planning on buying my fert at the local Petco, but after reading a post on how horrible the condition of pet store ferrets end up strayed me away from that idea. My mom is quite hard to convince to let me get a fuzzy companion even through all the research and consideration I've put into one. I can't very well expect her to drive 2-3 hrs (the closest shelter) to get one when she actually does permit me. Does anyone know where I couls find shelters or breeders? A book I've read lists ferret shelters/ organizationa, but as I've said, the closest one is 2-3 hrs. away. Does anyone know any ferret shelters/ breeders in northeastern Pennsylvania? Or prehaps a good breeder that ships a ferret from surrounding states in 24 hrs or less? Thanks for all your help. Melinda [Posted in FML issue 3771]
