Hey Everybody, I would like to start off by saying how terrific the show in White Plains, NY was. If you ever get the chance, you should go. It is sponsored by Big Apple Ferrets. Secondly, I recall reading something in the FML about Marshall Farms ferrets being inferior. Although I bought both my ferrets from a pet store(a no-no, but a well-informed and clean place), I must say my black roan mitt is breeder quality(except for that neutering). Everyone at the show complimented his size, and overall large and broad structure. I have to agree with the man who said neutering early lessens their overall size (but I know of many exceptions!), but Marshall Farms ferrets are still ferrets- and beautiful ones at that. Lastly, anyone who wants to write legislation about carpet shark's rights, e-mail me and tell me what state you're in, and I can send you ALL the names-via the internet. Thanks for your time.
