Jacksmomma- ALL my ferrets are the mill variety ;D Suki was one they were getting ready to send back to the mill at the age of 8 month, because no one wanted her

My little Pita is a Marshall's but she can scheme with the best of them. She's recently discovered that she can jump and have access to all sorts of previously hidden treasures. When my husband sits at his desk, she obsessively climbs the blanket he covers up with trying to get the the desktop.

I have no doubts in the brains of the mill babies, my mill babies are perfect . I just really want a privately bred so I can late alter. I've never met a ferret that isn't beautiful so I just want one that *may* be healthier

They do tend to be a bit bratty from time to time

Sherry, she sounds just like my jills. They're determined and they can also be vindictive when they're frustrated. <G>

I don't know but it's been my observation that the most determined, the most vindictive, the ultimately most b*y are the little girls. My boys for the most part will shrug it off but the little girls (size has no matter in this either...except maybe the tinier they are the nastier they are ) they're a totally different story. If one of the little girls don't like a newbie forget it, the business won't accept the new party. Now, I have a question for people like Joan and Marie....your little jills (little charmers that they are ) are they worse than the sprites I've had hobs so I can compare jibs and hobs but what about the jills vs sprites?? ciao

I don't spay a jill until she's fully mature and, if bred, her litter is at least 6 months old. So far all the jill kits I've sold were not spayed until after they'd come into heat and were given a shot to take them out. I've never seen any change of personality after spaying, nor have I heard of any from any of my buyers. They're just as determined to have their own way as they were before spaying.
Now I have seen drastic changes in personality while they're in whelp, as even the most independent ones can become very loving and affectionate during that time. Then they turn into very protective mothers once the kits are a few days old, and heaven help anyone who puts a hand in the cage. <G> Once the kits are weaned, they go back to whatever their personality was prior to coming in heat.
Guess I'm not much help, am I? <G>

Don't feel bad Sherry. That's why I have so many play groups too I love them anyway Thanks Joan, you did answer my question. Basically, our little girls have strong personalities and expect and get the respect they deserve. If they don't they dish out a bit of discipline ciao
