I bred my female ferret some time ago and she had 10 wonderful kits (7 like her, with common ferret design and 3 albinos). They all grew up pretty hard,...
... After they started walking, I noticed that all the albinos had problems with their legs. I made Xrays and apparently they suffered from rickets. Their...

Oh, and for humans sequential casting and external braces in conjunction with PT are used for many malformations. While I haven't heard of the casting or...

Sukie, just as an fyi, I had a ferret that did very well in a cast for a non-displaced broken leg. She never bothered it until literally the day before it was...
Hi all. A quick intoduction to me, as it's my first post here. I have had ferrets for about 20 years now. Very quickly I became involved in rescue work, going...
... Since the gene(s) involved have incomplete penetrance, there is no way of knowing whether or not they carry them and will pass them on. ... I personally...
Just an FYI: Val (Tansy) is an "accidental" breeder, and they weren't even her ferrets who got pregnant. She took in some already pregnant ferrets which...
Val politely pointed out that I confused her with someone else in part of my reply. Oh, well, at least I thought the best of her. If someone is going to get...
I learned tonight that at the IFC Symposium Dr. Bob Wagner mentioned finding defective P53 (tumor suppressor) genetics in some ferrets. Also, in August at the...
Hi I'm very interested in these two colors of ferrets, I was told that I should not breed 2 silvers nor 2 champagnes because it will create genetic problems,...
Hi, I think that if you breed a silver to a champagne, you might end up with an all-sable litter (correct me if I'm wrong) - although if I know correctly, then...

So all the crummy "fine print" has been clarified, eh? what do they do in the State house there , spend their time takling to Shwartzenegger? ... -- Joan & the...
Well, actually NJ FG&W has been EXCELLENT about going up against some towns when they tried to outlaw ferrets. I have even been involved in providing...
Oh, and when one NJ junior assemblyman tried years ago to present anti-ferret legislation: before it was even presented he was shot down by Kavanaugh who was...

Sorry about this MC, It's just I believe that there are other ferret breeders from NJ on this group and I was just forwarding the information that I got from ...
We've talked about epigenetics here before. Here are segments from an AFP news piece on a new epigenetics study. I don't think the link I use will work for...
