They have it very clean and the head of the small animal dept is very knowledgeable and has ferts of her own. She helped me become more knowledgeable while I was researching before I got my own and of course now the Katrina fosters that are at my home. I have also asked her to become a member of the Frazzled Ferrets Organization that has been formed by me and another friend. So far she hasn't been able to get off work for the date and time but she is interested. Hugs, Nancy in Louisiana [Posted in FML issue 5110]
