Hi All, Usually I just lurk, but today I want to add my $.02 worth. I live in central Maine, and get into pet stores in several small cities from time to time. Most of the kits I've seen have been at least 6-7 weeks old. However, today I drove for the 1 1/2 hours to Portland for some TF (Thanks to whoever posted that Port City carries it, by the way.) Anyway, they were out, so I just had to love on the kit they had in! (g) His health certificate states Ferrets, neuter, descent Vaccinated against Canine Distemper Ferrets born from 03-01-98 thru 03-07-98 These were consigned to Fish Mart Inc. The shipping date was 04/13/98. That makes this kit between 5 - 6 weeks old when shipped. The store owner said it was still trying to nurse a lot. He was fat and happy, so I'm sure they are caring for him quite well. To answer SP The proper question is. How many lightbulbs does it take to get it changed before they all disappear under the couch.(g) Mary [Posted in FML issue 2288]
