Hi Brain Angora ferrets are a product of man, bread from a mistake made by Mother Nature. Now we humans do like to manipulate so breeding mother natures mistakes can give us lovely animals like the blaze ferrets, who are consequently deaf, our interference just makes mother natures mistakes worse, The real angora mother can not feed her own kits so some breeders compensate by having a normal ferret have a litter at the same time, lets say both mothers have 7 kits, that's to many for one mum so what do you think the breeder does? I know !, the original breeders in Switzerland told me. If you get an angora ferret you are stimulating the breeders to breed more, Why can't we be happy with normal healthy ferrets and let mother nature repair her own mistakes, My 10 cents worth of frustration Stephenie Netherlands [Posted in FML issue 4329]
