Hey guys I have some disapointing news. I visited Petsmart yesterday for some food and noticed their ferret 'habitat' was complete with kits. These guys are so incredibly tiny I have never, never seen a kit that young. Their eyes were *barely* open, they were just stumbling around their stupid plastic 'cage' that convienently has tubes the ferrets can't climb out of and tons of artificial lighting. They can't even get into their hammock!! I asked to talk to the 'specialist' who said she thought they were 20 weeks old!! Yeah right!! I almost laughed at her!! I waited until I exited the store though. Now I just got off the phone with another specialist who told me she thought they were three months old. I asked her if the breeder was Marshal, she just said no. I paused, waiting for her to tell me who it was, nothing. I asked if it was Path Valley, she said no. I again waited for an answer. I finally asked, so who is your breeder, and she says, Petsmart buys from vet-approved breeders. I'm like ok whatever, I am giving up trying to get a straight answer out of this lady. These people don't know squat about ferrets. If they already have their rabies and they are three months then they are not old enough right?? 12 week old ferrets should get their rabies at 16, right?? Thats my question. At what age do they get their rabies?? And why are these babies so darn little!! It's unbelievable!! Also, does anyone have a way of telling exactly how old they are?? By their teeth?? That would be very helpful. Thanks Krista [Posted in FML issue 4875]
