they're actually 200 quid mate.

changed my mind where do i get a breeding pair

[shotgunandy 2]

wouldnt mind a breeding pair myself lol. whats worse is the fact that people will pay this. if i were to pay 200 quid for a bloody ferret i would expect it to skin and cook rabbits then feed them to me.

Would'nt mind a pair of Angora slippers for Christmas if anyone wants to buy me a pair, dont know how many Angrora's it would take to make two size elevevens

They were bred for there fur so were not expected to have a long life span , so genetics was not top of the list when they were created I would stear well clear

For those who see Angoras as a money making operation, be aware that Angora jills do not produce sufficient milk to rear their kits successfully, so the kits have to be fostered to a nursing ferret jill. Plus, even breeding two full Angoras together will only produce one or two Angora kits in a litter. The rest of the kits will look like regular ferrts, but may have many or most of the detrimental Angoras genetics. I don't know of any knowledgeable, ethical ferret breeders who would even consider breeding ferrets with such poor genetics nor any ferret organization which approves of breeding them.

So Angora ferrets are nota seperate breed of ferret, they are just ones with a lot more fur and you dont always pass that gene on to the kitts? I always thought they was a seperate breed like a black foot ferret.
