>As we live in Calif. I must drive to a pet store in Sparks, Nev. >The pet store told me a shipment of ferts would be arriving from Colorado >soon. I was told the breeder was Marshal Farms. When I remarked that I >thought MF was in NY, I was told "Oh no, they are all over the place". Is > this true? Marshall Farms is located in New York state. I am a long time resident of the Reno/Sparks Nevada area. There are only a few pet stores in the area I would ever recommend to anyone. Pet R Us, 702 747-8400 Has the best pet store environment for live animals I have ever seen....zoo quality, IMHO. Pets Unlimited, 702 329-1752, a very clean and caring store Pettin' Place, 702 323-3348, the original pet store in Reno. Linus runs a first class store. Stores to stay away from: Little Wilderness..sometimes his ferts go 12 hours without food or water. He has had the Humane Society called on him a number of times. All three of the stores I recommend carry ferrets and have a full line of ferret supplies. Joe [Posted in FML issue 1827]
