jultaylor1972 2 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 What's all the fuss about Angora ferrets? And why do they cost so much? I'm not sure I understand the genetics behind them. Can anyone explain? Quote Link to post
Rake aboot 4,935 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 OMG They are a genetic abortion. The Jills can`t suckle young so surrogates have to be used. They were created for arsehole pet keepers as a new show pony and cash cow and quite frankly they should be ended entirely. AVOID !! big style, don`t be fooled into thinking you can work one, you can`t they have no down under the fur and suffer from cold climates,, Abortions ! 1 Quote Link to post
Gin 498 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 They cost £200 They just have a longer coat, thats all the difference i could see. One has already come into the rescue. Quote Link to post

Aw, what a shame, I just don't 'get' the high price? Yes they seem popular as pets. As you know I've got several working ferrets and a few that are just pets that I take to shows. Is the breeder you know the woman who was at the show at Crook? Is the angora ferret at the rescue a full male? Quote Link to post
Rabbiting man 1,191 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) No it mite sound cruel but dont you lot think these Angora ferrets need knocking on the head at birth Edited May 2, 2012 by Rabbiting man 1 Quote Link to post
The one 8,474 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Normally anything that can't rear its own young would get hit on the head or die out but because greedy folk see a pound in it they go to the trouble of fostering the young out so gullible folk will buy them , Quote Link to post
