To Judy Cooke, I just want to say thank you!!!!! I also have two pet store ferrets that I feel are also of the highest quality!!! They have the best temperament I could ever ask for!!!!! Even if I had a breeder within close proximity to me I wouldn't change a thing!!!! My boys are the best thing that ever happened to me, and I feel that I rescued them from a fate worse than death if they wouldn't have been sold!!!! Sooooo I have to agree with you on this subject. Ferrets are prone to different diseases weather they are pet store ferrets or not. I know allot of people who own ferrets from private breeders and they have had there share of diseases with there Fuzzy's, of course large breeders will have the highest rate of diseases due to the higher number of ferrets sold!!!!! HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE, and my PRAYERS go out to ALL the sick and homeless FERRET'S may the FUZZY'S G__ watch over ALL of you precious little creatures!!!!!
