I am wondering if anyone can recommend any private breeders in the NorthEast area of the US? I am thinking about a ferret baby from a small scale ferret breeder who breeds for **health** and longevity as the most important factors. Temperament is also important, but I really want my ferret babies to be healthy. Losing them at such young ages to these awful diseases is breaking my heart. I am posting anonymously because, trust me, I feel guilty about not adopting from a shelter or rescue, and I really don't need anyone getting on my case about it. So, please, if anyone knows of a breeder who breeds with their health as the utmost important, could you please post their info. I don't care if they are not able to win any shows or anything, their perfect looks aren't what I'm looking for, its a healthy ferret who has the best chance at growing to a ripe old age with me, is what I am looking for.
