hi all
 
i don't claim to be an expert about much of anything.  but I've been
wondering something for quite a while now.  i read a lot about " why
don't ferrets live long enough, why do they suffer so".  it seems to me
that the main heath problem is with some of the breeders having male &
female from the same litter breading.  or in human terms incest or
inbreeding.  this means just as in human terms after so many generations
a breaded can be susceptible to many kinds of health problems and cancers
with seem to just aper for no reason at all and this makes me think most
if not all of ferret cancers are bread into their geans.
 
just my 5cents on a random thought.
