Hello. I went into Apet yesterday in Annapolis, MD and saw the most precious little girl. She caught my eye because she was in a cage with two other kits and she was huge. I held her for a little while and fell in love so I asked the owner about her even though I don't agree with the whole buying of animals thing. He said she was a trade in from a family that decided they were no longer interested in a ferret and wanted a bird. She just sat in my arms forever and licked me and sniffed and was so happy about having someone holding her. I wanted to take her home so badly but I could afford her this week. She is 49.99, descented and desexed but no paper work so he doesn't know about shots. I have four already in a medium sized cage so I just couldn't have her right now no matter how hard I tried to rationalize it. I would feel a lot better if I knew she had a loving home soon so am posting in here to let everyone know she is there. Her name is Bandit and the pet store is off of Forest Drive on Chinquapin Round Road. If anyone does decide to go "rescue" her please let me know so I can stop worrying. This pet store does take care of their ferrets as far as I could see. They were in wire cages with the yesterdays news type stuff on the bottom, no wire floors, ferret food and even some toys. Please go take a look....she is great!! Thanks!! Nikole, Biscuit, Gravy, Bear and Kasey [Posted in FML issue 2007]
