I'm curious about this breeder and how they mark their kits.  Our local pet
store got some ferts in a few months ago (from PA) that exhibited the exact
behaviour you described.  We've since had two come into our halfway house
(one because of the biting, one was abandoned in an apt).  Both have gotten
much better (don't bite me, but bite my fiancee) isnce they came into our
care.  The both have a hot-pink tatoo inside the front of their right ear
lobe.  Is this characteristic of this breederm another breeder, or a
non-diagnostic tatoo for a breeder?
