HI Friends- I found the most wonderful news out on my last Petco Day - SUNDAY The ferret tank was still empty- we took the last ferret a biter over a month ago ( she has a permanent home with a shelter director - yes she STILL BITES) I inquired as to why the tank was still empty-- the store asst manager said- we are planning to get chinchillas in instead of ferrets. VOILA! I am excited this means no flood of baby ferrets in the backyard which will need a shelter in a few months- on the other hand I feel bad for the chinchillas-- they too are a very high maintenence animal-- the local chinch lady will have her hands full! Last week we also received a call form Fitchburg, MA PETCO -- they wanted to know if ewe had any ferrets we could sell THEM! So they have none-- Maybe we can hope that they will accept the proposed moratorium on ferret sales... :) Alicia [Posted in FML 5413]
