Ferrets are neutered and descented for the benefit of the ferret and the owner. Ferrets not neutered and descented smell awful and routine bathing will not solve this problem.
Female ferrets come into heat and stay in heat for months.
If you leave them in heat, scientific research indicates that most of them will die due to prolonged exposure to hormones. They must be spayed. Neutering and descenting ends these dangers once and for all. PVF guarantees ferrets against both congenital and genetic problems in the first year of life. We do not exclude tumors and cancers in the first year of life as do some other breeders of ferrets.
