Ok, so it took some sorting out in my tired brain. I kept going into dr suess mode as I read your post. If a shelter breeding ferrets, shelters a breed of shelter ferrets, then the breeder at the shelter shouldn't breed the sheltered ferrets. If a breeder shelters ferrets, don't have the sheltered ferrets breeding, don't increase the population, beyond the ferrets we are needing. Seriously though, very sensible post! I think the plea that we all get along, and work together for the sake of the ferts deserves a round of applause. Christopher & Crew http://www.christopher.bennett.org [Posted in FML issue 3325]
