This is to respond to Debbie and others who have the same concern about small breeders vs. non-MF large scale breeders. The idea behind my idea was to have the ability to inspect the breeder prior to accepting kits for sale. There are small breeders who are horrible. I really wanted it to lean more toward refering interested parties than accepting kits, prior conditions unknown. With the other large breeders, it is impossible to see how the ferrets are cared for before shipping. I do believe that all large breeders are money hungry profiteers. The real evil in this whole process are the brokers who supply kits to small pet stores. The store says they want X number of ferrets, the broker finds a deal and supplies them. This has led to very scared, stressed kits ending up in stores occasionally with origins unknown. I have seen kits that were not MF accompanied with MF paperwork. Thank you all for listening!
