Hi Lea; I'd first ask the manager for the headquarters 800#.. I know they have one, they advertise it on TV.. All the stores here in Az. have a big sign that says they DO NOT sell ANY animals, there are too many already, so they donate space to help place shelter animals (dogs & cats here)... I think that store may be violating corporate policy!! I personally would feel out this guy if he seems not to be taking care of his ferrets, would he like to find them a new home, & connect him with one of the shelters for ferrets (see the database).. maby even be a go-between.... Maby he's "bored with them", & you could help find them a better home.. SIncerely, Gary & the gang of fur Violence is not strength, Compassion is not weakness. From Camelot. [Posted in FML issue 1522]
