My third ferret, Lany, came from Petersen Farms. I hear the name every now and then, but not often. They apparently are a pretty small operation. I probably still have her papers somewhere. I once tried to find Petersen Farms on the Internet but had no luck. It seems they may be in the Midwest somewhere. Lany was a panda who turned into a DEW in her later years. Lany was deaf but had no medical issues until later in life. She was diagnosed with insulinoma when she was 7 y.o. She had surgery and was supported with pred. I think we also removed a couple of mast cell tumors. She was NOT a biter at all unless frightened. I bought (my last pet store purchase) Lany in 1995, as a baby, and she died in 2003, at 8 1/2 y.o.
