Just a quick warning, I just received a telephone call from a ferret owners
who's daughter purchased two ferrets from a pet store in Taylorsville,
Utah, MARK'S ARK.  The two ferrets, who where purchased in late October,
just died of what the vet has determined as Canine Distemper.
 
These were not Marshall Farm Ferrets.  This pet store has in the past tried
to pass off phoney Marshall Farms Ferrets, but it was later determined they
were purchased from a Denver Breeder.
 
If you have purchased a Ferret from this pet store in the past two months,
please contact a vet to have your ferret checked out.  If you don't know of
a good vet, contact Bird and Exotic Pet Hospital, (801) 565-1263.  Both of
the vets here are EXPERIENCED FERRET VETS.
 
Also, please notify me.
