The three pet stores that I deal with all carry Marshall Farms Ferrets. While I haven't been to one in about 6 weeks, they have been receiving 24 ferrets a week from Marshall farms. A matter of fact, I was talking to a manager at one of these stores 4-6 weeks ago and she told me that she could special order a cinnamon for me when I was ready, Did not seem to be much of a problem. Since I got my male silver mitt in febuary, and he is a marshall farms ferret, any word on this rumor would be appreciated. Also, I was wondering, As I mentioned, I got my ferret in febuary, so he was born approximately around the beginning of January. Here is the situation, He has yet to shed his winter coat. I was wondering if this could be indicative of a health problem? thanx paul [Posted in FML issue 1222]
