i am sure the owner was aware its all apart of reaserch sorry it is scaring people i know they are prone to eplastic anemia i have had ferrets since i was 5.* They are only prone to that if "left" in season.* through an over load of hormones, of course they are more at risk of ovarian tumors if not spayed what whole animal isnt?** I guess it will depend on how far the jills are in the phantoms ive known ferrets be full of milk having phantoms at 5 weeks.
