Links about Ferrets


Below are some good ferret related links that provide a wealth of information about fuzzies like me.  Be sure to take a look at the sites related to ferret vivisection.  I was bred at Marshall Farms.  I am soooo lucky that I was sold to a pet store and not a medical research facility.  Talk about your worst nightmare!
