I have written to a person for some time who breeds ferts. This person has expressed multiple concerns over the McKay Ferrets...Not those there, but the hundreds taken from the farm. The one that appears to need immediate attention .** Apparently they need to be kept in the dark to keep them from going into heat. **. This appears to be VERY important. The breeder appeared to be so concerned about this. So please bring plenty of dark blankets and sheets to place over the cages while they are being housed and transported whenever possible.( I hope that this person was not pulling my leg. My apologies if this was a joke. But I do not see why someone would joke about this. There is nothing humorous about this situation.) Perhaps sending dark old sheets, or old large dark towels, or beach towels and blankets to place over the cages should be added to necessary things to bring or deliver as soon as possible. If I have been deceived about this...please let the group know. [Posted in FML 5736]
