I recently purchased a nice 2 story cage, starter kit, it was called. The cage came with litter food water bottle and a book titled your first ferret written by Adelle porch..what scares me is that if I were a first time owner of ferrets, this book is somewhat vague, one would hope new owners would get better reading material. But the part that bothers me the most is how cavalier (sp) this author describes breeding, the hows and whens of it. She calls it an interesting hobby, and her only warning to potential breeders is the fact that the birth process is particulary demanding on the jill. JUST NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION!! I guess the one saving grace is that ( iam assuming)all pet stores sell spayed/neutered ferrets. Just a thought... June [Posted in FML issue 2575]
