Thanks for backing me up on this Matt, I hate it when people just breed their animals willy nilly because its "whats natural" with no thought to what happens to all those poor babies when they outgrow the cute stage and are still nipping and crapping on the floor.

all my ferrets go to working homes so they are no good to them in there ''cute stage''.

Jill jabs are good, but not ideal. What are you talking about "leave them alone" - if they did that they'd be dead before long. Obviously you don't know your stuff very well.

why would they be dead before long?
Because the person you addressed this comment to is obviously not going to breed from their jill, hence giving a jill jab. And you're saying you won't tell people to neuter OR give jill jabs....so if the person isn't going to breed, and you're telling them not to spay/jill jab, the animal will die from aplastic anemia. Which is probably just as bad as telling people to breed from their jills in the first place.

Don't get me wrong, nowhere have I said RESPONSIBLE breeding is bad. But a breeder who is against spaying is a bad breeder in my eyes. I can only imagine the advice you pass on to buyers of your kits.

No probs Rum Kitty - I totally agree and do have strong views with things like this (like a LOT of people!) and the thought of people reading these posts and then breeding their jills because of it...well I had to say something!
