Please be aware that not all Petco's purchase ferrets from Marshalls, some Petco's buy from Rainbow World Exotics. If you don't know where your Petco purchases their stock from, ask the manager. If they won't tell you ask for the district managers name and telephone number. The ferrets from a Colorado Petco that came to me for biting issues were from Rainbow World Exotics. Colorado is only one state that Petco purchases stock from Rainbow World Exotics for. There are several states, multiple stores. Petco DOES buy from Rainbow World Exotics and many of the animals come in sick, some dying, many needing some type of medical care. Not all of them get it, especially the low-cost stock animals... Why would any company buy from such a horrid animal mill? Especially one that wants to keep a good standing with the animal community. Previously I posted information requesting letters be written to PetCo Corp, if you haven't already done so, please write and request they stop purchasing their stock, all stock, from Rainbow World Exotics. For a company the theme is "where pets come first" this is not the case when they continue to put money in the pockets of cruel uncaring (except for the buck) suppliers. If humane suppliers are not used, even if they cost a bit more for the stock, the petstores can lose much more than they think they are saving by purchasing from a lower cost cruel supplier. Petstore Corps need to know the conditions their stock are coming from.
