Over recent times I have read the postings putting down back yard breeders. And tho some all around the world are out of line with breeding kits in poor conditions.... Not all are .... sometimes breeding undergound is needed to supply the lovers of ferrets, who cannot get them normally. And for some of us..and I wish i could do so with my name showing here but id put my own loved pets at risk.... watch the joy of new born kits and watching them grow from littles to babes to young ones and it is such joy. But where there is life there is death, and it us who bleed our hearts as tiny kits die, too weak to find forever homes, to sick and need to be aided across the bridge, before others can take there babies home, we love and care for our breedable beauties, we who nurse them through sickness and pain why, so others can have lovable cuddly pets..... So remember, when you put down Back Yard Breeders, say a prayer for those of us that care, love, and see our littles go to live with forever parents. And we get empty nest syndrome too.... I have these beautiful babes for a few weeks, treating ills when needed, watching and then seeing them be healthy, I watch them go often missing them before they even leave.... so remember us, who do our best so you can have your adorable ferrets. I sing my babes, those who dont make it, across the divide, to rest with the Great Spirit, till I can join them And I wonder why, after we pour our souls into breeding young, so many pathethically get abused and abandoned..... Hug your fuzzies and love them with all your spirit for their time is short and they deserve your best. One of my most favourite kits got sick at 4 weeks, antibiotics, hand feeding, cleaning, praying, loving, was not enough, and he passed over in my hands, he joined 6 of his litter who were struck with an air borne virus, they didnt make it.......... Warm Fuzzies to all fuzzits...... M" [Posted in FML 6030]
