Some ferret raisers breed for the lucrative research market.
Inbreeding is common because it is desired for research projects.
This practice
could make animals less vigorous and possibly affect animal health and life
span. Sadly, some foreign ferrets are raised for fur. Fur raisers from foreign
countries are a big concern because there are no regulations governing health
factors. You could be exposing your family and pets to
harmful diseases. These concerns should be strongly considered when choosing a
pet ferret.
Before you buy a ferret, ASK THESE QUESTIONS!
 |
Ask where the ferret came from and the name of the breeder?
|
|
Ask to see a copy of the guarantee and request the guarantee be explained to you
in detail?
|
|
Ask if the ferrets are from a "pets only" farm or a breeder who raises
the ferrets for research or fur?
