Hello all, Without getting on my soap box (too much) I agree with the majority that do not want Petsmart marketing ferrets. Yes, I've signed the petition, but being a business owner I also realize that the corporate mind was made up beforehand and nothing we say or do will really make much of a difference. Petsmart carries some items that my other local stores, (Petco and PetSuppliesPlus) don't carry, so I will on occasion go there to shop. That being said, I think our main problem is with the ferretrys or ferret farms themselves. I personally purchased up a Marshall Farms kit two weeks ago at Petco. She was the last, obviously a runt and an albino to boot. She is not severely, (but definitely) underdeveloped for her 'supposed' age of now 10 weeks. Those 'Health Certificates' signed by Jean or Janet Marshall are a joke. She has yet to have her adult canine teeth break the gum line. I am feeding her a combination of ZooPreem mush and A/D or Max Cat canned kitten food. She is a hellion, full of piss and vinegar, but NEVER should have been taken away from her momma so soon. So who do we blame, the store that sells these pets where there is a demand, or the farms that ship these babies out way too early? Everything is driven by the almighty dollar, but I say we begin with the federal government who allows this to occur. BTW: I've named her 'Little One' as she will doubtfully ever achieve her full size, but she's filled my heart :-) Leslie [Posted in FML issue 4713]
