This is fly, she is a eu polecat jill. A university in America did dna testing on her which showed her to be 100% pure european polecat. They also checked for cancerous genes as well.

I find the EU poley feel different and act different. They tend to be solid muscle and move so fast and seem to be much smarter than most ferrets. Here is one of my girls. She has EU in her line.

Do a search for "Maries Ferrets" swedish site, with pedigrees going back up to 10generation no genuine eu polecat in her lines but look very similar to what is being banded about as having eu polecat in them

Given that we still don't know all the cancer causing genes in humans, and the ferret genome hasn't been unravelled, I wouldn't rely too much on a 'cancer check' in a ferret

Ruth, I think she meant some cancerous genes.

She didn't say some, Candy.

She seemed to me to be trying to imply that the ferrets that she's marketing are guaranteed cancer free .When in fact the tests aren't a guarantee

Ahh, I see what you mean. I am forever giving her crap because she really sucks at wording things. Mind, I do too sometimes.

So to clarify, she meant some cancerous genes and that Fly isn't cancer free but is free from carrying certain cancerous genes.

I am not implying anything ruth, i am told she has been checked for cancerous genes from her reliable last owner. I didn't say some but i didn't say all either did i. I wish i could say they will be cancer free but who can say that about anything.
