Aww that is terrible. Ferrets are suppose to have nice big cages too and animals should never have to walk in their own droppings. I hope that ferret gets a nice home. Its like pet stores can be contradicting themselves, you could go to buy the ferret and then when you ask what size cage you need they'll point to the biggest one even though they are using the smallest one. Anyway I hope it gets a bigger cage and a nice home you should let us know if its still at the pet store or not.
