Hi, I just had to respond to the posting about the ferret craze. When I got my first ferrret it was just after they were leagalized in NH. The stores couldn't keep them in. I didn't know very much about them but I took the time, and money, to find all the info and supplies available. The people in the store didn't know anything about them at all. So they could not be relied upon for info. Which gets me to my major point, If the pet stores that sold the ferrets would have the supplies, books, and knowlege, then maybe some of these ferrets wouldn't have to suffer through ignorant (lack of knowlege not an insult) owners. Finding ferret things and info is almost impossible except through mail order and the people selling the ferrets don't know anything about them. They keep them in shavings, dont have collars, harnesses, hammocks, cages etc. The other day I was in a pet store at the mall they had a ferret starter kit, if you have ever seen a rabbit starter kit it was the same thing except they put in ferret food instead of rabbit food. You can't keep ferrets in a cage that is 2 feet long by 1 / 1.5 feet long, that's cruel. Sorry this was long, but thanks for listening.
