Hi everyone, I wrote a while ago about a pet store here in Huntsville, Alabama charging $200 for a male albino because albinos are "rare". I told the woman working at the store that albinos are not necessarily "rare", but that you just may not see many. Sables seem to be the most common, but that doesn't really make albinos "rare". Anyway, some friends and I have started a rescue and I got the chance to meet a guy who was interested in adding a playmate for his other two ferrets. He told me that he bought his siamese male from this same pet store, but the price of his ferret was $20 more than the other ferrets in the cage because HE WAS A SIAMESE! Oh, please!! Can pet stores REALLY get away with this? All of the store's ferrets came from Marshall Farm, so I know how much they paid for them. They paid the SAME PRICE for each individual ferret, not different prices for each color and/or pattern! I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be mad, or just realize that pet stores want to make a profit and it's their right to make their profit as they see fit. Thanks for letting me vent! -Mark Zmyewski Cloud Nine Ferrets Huntsville, Alabama [Posted in FML issue 1840]
