Something keeps bothering me about the breeding discussion, and maybe I've just missed people mentioning it, but it's essential to know the MEDICAL FAMILY HISTORIES of the animals involved. Also, since the first poster had females and one male from the same breeder is she certain that they are not related. If they are related then some recessive traits which weren't seen at all in the parents could cause serious medical difficulties in the young. [Posted in FML issue 2746]
