Hello ferret lovers,
I have been lurking for quite a long time and enjoy every piece of useful
information discussed in FML.
Yesterday Dan requested to contact other ferret lovers in Japan, so here I
am. I have been living with my ferrets for 6 years and working hard to
distribute vital information on ferret welfare. Unfortunately, ever since
the on-going ferret fad hit the Japanese market about 2 years ago, business
has been always ahead of the education. However, Dr. Gandolfi, introduced
by CDFA, gave Conference on domestic ferrets in Japan in November for the
general owners/petshops in a.m. and for vets in p.m. The lectures dealt
with the basic veterinary medicine but were excellent for the limited time
(I can't perform simultaneous interpretation). I hope the infrastructure
will catch up in a near future. If any Japanese ferrer owners/vets reading
this post needs the text from the conference, I can arrange it. Please
contact me.
The average price range Dan cited is also what I see. BEW was around 90,000
yen or roughly $900. Unaltered ferrets are less expensive. Recently the
retail price seems to be getting a little lower. So far, MF is dominant in
the market, followed by PV and other ferrets from New Zeland, Australia and
Germany as far as I know. So much for today. If anyone needs to contact
me, feel free to do so.
Merry Christmas to all.
Keiko, Zooey, Franny, Ginger & Cinnamon
