I am sad to hear that some Petcos are like that. I am an employee at Petco and we take great care of our animals. I bathed and trimmed nails the other day and we bathe all of our new arrivals IMMEDIATELY. I also play with them daily to keep them calm and not biting. If a ferret comes in and isnt right to sell, like hes got a defect etc. we adopt them out to a rightful home. That's how I got my Dexter. I just want everyone to know that not all Petco's are that bad. Hopefully this doesn't offend anyone !!! ~Amber mom to 16 spoiled brats !!! [Posted in FML issue 5113]
