Yes, Sukie! Dr Hawkins and I have been in touch and we're both hoping
that some Australian ferrets can be included. They have actually
stopped collecting, but still feel that it could be worth it to have
some Aussie samples. I'll let you know.

I don't class myself as a breeder, but I have bred ferrets and
sold them on a small scale over about 6 years, if that makes sense.
Anyway no more kits being born here because I'm 60 yo and becoming
increasingly disabled. I just wonder how much longer I can pick up
poo! :-)

Cheers,
Shirley
