Last year i breed my ferret and had two kits one was blind being a soft touch i kept it now she has come in too heat should i breed ?

i dont think i would mate incase she passes it on to her kits but dont take my word for it as i really dont no,id put a snipped hob over her to bring her out of season.i would only breed of your strongest fittest proven stock.atb ferreter.al

i have one with one eye. i have worked her and she dose the job i cant be sure if she misses anything on that side but she bolts bunnies.

i wouldn't breed from mine there are sooooo many healthy kits out there who's gonna want blind ones is it worth taking the risk i don't think so

she has something genetically wrong with her to be born with one eye her kits could come out missing limbs etc i wouldn't bother

as said cover her with a sniped hob

no iv never had a blind ferret as i wouldnt have room for a blind ferret but its nice that you have kept it and looking after it.but as said before...the market is over run with healthy strong ferrets....you dont want to breed something that mite be a defect.atb

Buggers might get stuck in burrow if they cant see only jocking bud,but I wouldnt breed from her but if there are any that are blind and you would be prepared to keep them and look after them as you have with youre current jill then go head mate.
