Guest SJM Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Ive never had one die suddenly or heard of it either, but my ferrets were very inbred, and what I will say is that in the first couple of inbreedings I saw unusual things like short stumpy tails, extra toes and white markings on the polecats, then in the next few generations I tended to get kits dying off at an early age and only a couple surviving but the ones that did survive went on to live very long healthy lives Quote Link to post
