Ann, No offence, but you have to be kidding! Ask Pet Shops to consider reducing their ferret orders for 6-9 months??? PLEASE GET REAL. These Pet Shop CHAINS are only out to make MONEY. If they really cared at all about the ferrets, they wouldn't carry any in their stores to begin with knowing how many are in the shelter and rescue system now. Now people MAY be able to persuade the private Mom & Pop Pet Shops to do this, but IMO, it ain't going to happen especially with chain stores. Nice thought though. Debi [Posted in FML 5743]
