breeding

[countrylad2 2]

hiya this may sound a stupid question and in a way weird but i was just wondering if i brought to kits from the same litter would it be ok for them to breed

[patterdalejoel 669]

yes probably but wouldnt risk it.

[Ferret mad Dave 65]

Come on would you shag your sister

Yes.

[theferreter 311]

no you will end up with deformed kits

[derbylad1 293]

There can be compications like deformed kits, but not 100% guarenteed.

[ferret100 47]

No, they are from the same gene pool....if you wan't to see what goes wrong watch the films Wrong Turn lol! No, but really, the kits would have genetic defects, not advisable at all.

Yes.

 

And yet again yes.

I'd shag ur sister! Iv seen it done without problems but probably best not to. Iv also seen deformed and premature kits come from two seperate gene pools so do as u please. I won't be wantin a kit tho.

[broonball 38]

Just an extra bit of useless info... Weasel males rape all the young in the nest,boys and girls... This is how they breed (incestuously) if it works for them.....

Best not to do it, even if it works out physically there could be hidden defects that get passed on unwittingly in the future.

There's plenty of ferrets out there, always possible to get a line from a mate's hob in my opinion.

[Guest annette jackman]

you wouldnt line breed a dog with a brother or sister so i wouldnt breed sibling ferrets, under laying health defects can araise, such as deformed legs and feet, hope this helps

[The one 8,529]

If it works most would call it line breeding a few guys do it to get there own strain ,its no for me it would be easy enough to borrow a good working hob to mate with the jill

It's not advisable to breed littermates if there are known health problems or defects in their background. If they come from a long lived, healthy background, then it should be perfectly safe and will set the good genetics behind them. Line- and inbreeding does not cause defects, it only brings out the recessive genes both parents carry where they can be eliminated from future breeding.

 

I've linebred and inbred for 7 generations with no problems of any kind, but I breed the polecat coloration only with no dilute or white marked ferrets in the background.

thanks for all the repls and im glad i asked the question i thought it would be weird but just wanted to no cheers
