My husband and I went to MaCays four years ago and got two of his ferrets, and I can tell you that the conditions are past horriable. There was poop knee deep under the cages, and not much better inside the cages, and yes he keeps the males and females to gather. The two that we got are very good ferrets, but he does have Biters. It's hard to beleive that the ferrert are in good health. He does raise mink and feeds the ferrets mink food, there coats arein really good shape, and there weight is good. I don't beleive in feeding ferrets mink food, and we were lucky that the ones that we got took right to what we feed our other ferrets. These ferrets need alot of love and understanding, in time they will be good pets, it just takes time. Our Little Cheyanne is the sweetest little girl, daddy's girl. Dougs health is really bad, but there is no excuse for this as he has doughters that are taking care of them, and they aren't much better. The place needs to be Condemed.
