Hi! Since I am a ferret breeder I am always looking for new ideas and new ways of doing things. Sooooo...... When newbies request one of our ferrets, we will suggest they adopt a ferret from the local shelter first. If they do so, they will get a discount on one of our ferrets, if they decide to adopt one of ours later. Secondly when a ferret is adopted there we will be charging $250 but after the ferret is nuetered/spayed we will be refunding $50.00. Yes, this does mean that we will actually be selling below our cost if all the terms are abided by. But look at the homes for shelter ferrets! Also the incentive to get their ferrets altered. Out here $50 pays at least half of the surgery. I will be making the appropriate changes to our web site shortly.
