THE MICRO CHIPPING OF FERRETS
WE now have the chips and associated equipment. WE have people trained for inserting the chips into the ferrets. The chips are the size of a small grain of rice and will be inserted under the skin between the shoulder blades. Each chip has it’s own individual number which can be read by scanners held the Police, RSPCA and other similar bodies, who can then trace it back to the Wessex Ferret Club by the computerised register.
At least four club members have had their ferrets stolen and know of the problems in describing their ferrets to the police. The chips will avoid such problems of identification. If you wish your ferrets to be chipped and they are Aleutian negative then contact Jo to arrange a time and place. The price per ferret is £3.50p each. This is thanks to the time effort and work done by members over the past years, the club has now accumulated sufficient funds to enable us to subsidies the chipping costs considerably for members.
CONTACT JO SCOTT for details.
