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. rich samantha & banaby & the ghost of pogo [Posted in FML issue 3946]
