Hi.  I just wanted to remark with reference to Pam's discussion of Marshall
Farms' tattoos, sometimes intact females or males can get out into the
general pet population.  The only way I can imagine this happening is the
way I've seen it - if a research facility is "done" with said ferret, and
releases it for adoption.  Just thought I'd mention it.
