thanks for the info would be great if they became avaliable, i heard that they are hard to breed due to being agressive towards each other, maybe that is the reason why many are not around.

You could import and undergo the UK 6 month quarantine and tbh, l don't think a fresh bloodline would do the UK any harm what so ever. I know of a couple of ranches in S.Africa that have on their lists.

There is an awful amount of interest in the mustelidae family of recent times, so an importer could l feel not only have his own stock paid for, but said introduce a totally fresh bloodline into this country.
