In the past 30+ years I have not lost one jill due to being left in season. For the people who are going to say that they have lost ferrets due to being left in season, I would ask as to vetenary proof do they have? -- Please contact me I can be of any help, I am not a vet and in the past 30+ years none of my animals have visited my vet for anything other than routine check up. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/intact-ferrets/ Come see my ferrets http://www.geocities.com/houseferrets13uk/Tonys_Pets.html Some of our fund-raising events http://www.geocities.com/houseferrets13uk/Show.html http://www.headway.org.uk/ The brain Injury association [Posted in FML issue 5196]
