They have adult ferrets. But training them to bite isn't that hard. They are well behaved usually (they do like to climb, scratch and run around, and they like your company a lot and do miss you if you're gone for a while). They poo mostly in the right place, but not always. This also needs a bit of training.
The price is because they come from a legal ferret-farm and were orginally imported from Denmark.
Plus I believe the price include the first doctor visit for you for innoculation when the time's right. They are also castrated so breeding is out of the question (you can maybe ask for one which isn't, but they usually don't have them in store).
Because for reasons unknown there is a very small chance they still pass away (as any animal does who gets sick), they are insured (surprise! surprise!) for the first 6 months that you have the ferret.
Luckily our ferrets are extremely healthy, energetic, love to eat and play and didn't die on us, so we didn't need the insurance.
Important: don't let them run outside as they don't really come back. You can buy a leash if you want to walk them (needs a bit of training). But walking them outside is very dangerous in China because of a very active and prominent virus that effects animals and makes them stop eating completely (I've seen a lot of dogs who suffer from this at the vets). If this happens your ferret may die within a couple days (just like dogs do). The only thing then is to take it to a vet asap nearly daily for medicine and treatment I suppose (don't even know if they can be treated). We keep ours inside but still they get dusty and dirty so they need a bath occasionally in a small basin. They need a few times to get used to it but tend to love it and can't wait for another bath (so they do like to run into your bathroom, so cover any small holes they can crawl into like a drain). Cages are good for keeping them (we got a cage from taobao which is about 1.5 meter (5 feet) tall and it's big enough to release their energy. But they sometimes just want to and need to run for a while. We use our studyroom for that and close the doors.
Ferrets are quite rare in China and a bit of a novelty too yes. Lots of famous people have them in the world, so it's a bit of an image things too. But I like this store because you can always call them and ask questions. If you don't know how to do something (cut their nails, clean their ear, give them a bath, etc.), you can just go visit them and they show you right there in the store how to do things, or you just call or QQ them.

Chinese consumers of rare animals now face prison
Posted byIs there a list available of animals the government sees as endangered or forbidden? Not that I'd ever eat anything like those, but I want to know how far their list reaches in regards to foreign animals and if Yao Ming's efforts paid off. Thanks!

Kunming's illegal street racing scene
Posted byHmm, sounds like every day driving in KM. Risking your life in an attempt to get to where you have to be.
It feels and looks just like a Demolition Derby here.
(Today a guy threatened to ram our car twice! because he was jealous that we were driving 5 Kph faster than him and using our "indicator light" to offend him...)
It becomes really sad when drivers here don't care about making life hard for people who are ill, pregnant or disabled. Or cause injury or death to others because it is of no concern to them or is simply beneficial to them. I've seen it happen. No deaths yet, but close enough...
Golden rule:
"What you don't know won't hurt you."
