Other Pets / Re: Ferret Rescue Power Point (It is sad)

I have a ferret and well my 3 yr old daughter decided that it was her ferret and that she wants a white one too so they can play together and while I was looking at them in the pet stores that is where I got stunkin and got very lucky she is small and very calm and docile
but what I wanted to say is that while I was at one of the pet stores playing with the ferrets there was a family looking to get one not at that moment but in the near future and well the person there said that the reason they have a strong odor is because there are 5 in one cage but their scent glands are removed and well I jumped in and told her they still have a scent gland in their head and that one cannot be removed and the worker wasn't aware of that neither was I but I got ferrets for dummies and read it front to back and again I love that book
I think that there are some many ferrets out there because they are told that their scent glands are removed and can be litter trained and people are being lied to they thing they are getting a smell free animal and can throw a litter box in the cage and poof they are trained it is a shame that theworkers at the store are not trained in all fields of the animals that they carry I am sure that if they were there would be a lot less homeless pets.
my ferret is the only store bought pet that I have and I wouldn't even had gotten her if she wouldn't have rested her head on my hand and looked up at me with sad eyes saying please take me home and I took her in 5 min. but all my others a rescues even my 2 chins I was from a girl whowas moving and couldn't take the chin with her ( obviously she didn't care forthe chin cause she would've gotten a place that allowed them) and the other was from a friend who didn't have an extra cage to put him into cause she said that he is aggressive not and my one kitty I found as a kitten on the road and had to ween him myself with an eyedropper and the other kitty I got at a pet store from a rescue. and my fishies and ferret or the only store bought pets I own and will never buy store again
well I think that I have taken up enough time from writing a book sorry just had to speak out as a fellow ferret lover
