Are there any ferret shelters or breeders in Michigan, or other nearby states? My husband and I are looking for a possible fourth ferret, and having heard that big ferts (hefty 4-6-pounders) do exist (from hobs that have been neutered at the later age of 6 months or so), would like to add one to our brood of fuzzies. Also, the store manager (and fert owner) of a pet store we go to for fuzzy food has mentioned that Marshall Farms has come out with new variations on ferret colors, including "apricot". Does anyone have any information on this? Does Marshall Farms sell to individuals as well as to pet stores? Is there a # we can call to talk to them if they do? We're kinda looking for a ferret of the following description: neutered male, 14 weeks - 1 year old, big (3.5-6 pounds) must be sweet, non-biting, friendly panda pattern, silver, silver mitt, albino, butterscotch, or DEW color. Those with any leads/information/ferrets for adoption/sale??? please reply either on the list, or pref. in email to: [log in to unmask] Martin & Anna Molly, Mithril, and Obelix P.S. = Possible name: "Cookie Monster"??? =P [Posted in FML issue 1499]
