The one 8,594 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 There might be the advantage that early breed kits are more mature and ready to work come September but your losing the jill with her being pregnant for the best bit of the working season so its swings and roundabouts Quote Link to post
ferret100 47 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Yes, light influences the breeding hormones in ferrets. Agree with Paulus, best to leave breeding to Mother Nature. It's not hard to look around and see why human influence has c****d up alot of animals..... Quote Link to post
