I guess we are a very diversified group on this list and that is good. I did breed fancy mice. I do breed fancy rats, chins and also ferrets. I personally have debated the question of feeding my ferrets mice. Because I am also farm raised I realize every animal has a right to food. Some of the food is another animal. This is the way nature works. I personally have rejected the idea of feeding mice or any raw meat to my ferrets. However, I won't condemn someone else for making a different decision. Please people try to save your flames and wrath for those who are deliberately injuring animals and people. Don't most of you eat beef? Have you ever been to a slaughterhouse?
