>I dont know if this is the same people but I got four ferrets >this past august from a man named Jean. The name on the papers >is lakeside ferrets. None of mine have tatoos ... I spoke to Gene at Lakeside Ferrets a year or so ago - definitely a backyard breeder that I would avoid. He doesn't track his lines for health & longevity, doesn't ADV test and told me he believes that spaying is not needed for ferrets as he just keeps breeding his jills every year. Yep, he's a real winner :) Mary ********************** Novel Beginnings Ferretry http://www.geocities.com/novelbeginnings/ ********************** [Posted in FML issue 5064]
