A friend of mine stopped by the Petco on Rockville Pike(next to Circuit City), Rockville, Maryland yesterday. She was very upset to see that eight, eight almost full grown ferrets are kept in a 36" circular, tall plexiglass aquariums that is meant for lizards. There's no ventalization except a fan on top. They share a tent like hammy and there're no litter box (NO ROOM!). All eight of the ferrets were stretched out on their back, sleeping, some on their own feces. My friend said they were laying side by side, filling up the bottom of the aquarium, it was eerie, she's never seen anything like that. She got there late and were ushered out the door because the store was closing. I live about two hours from the shop. Please if you live near that area, please stop by there to check on these poor ferrets. [WQ] [Posted in FML issue 3803]
