Hi Brianna,

I'm glad you got your ferret baby and are spoiling her. However, next time, I wouldn't recommend buying a ferret from a pet store. All of those ferrets come from ferret mills, unsanitary "farms" where the ferrets are used as breeding machines. I don't remember which farms are most notorious for producing ill-fated ferrets, but Marshall and Triple F (I think?) are among the largest. A better option would be to buy a ferret from a reputable breeder or adopt one

At any rate, I'm very glad you did so much research before acquiring your pet and you are VERY mature for a 12 year old! Welcome to Pet Talk!
