Jeg kan faktisk stadig ærgre mig pænt meget over, at jeg ikke nåede at købe en #minkfarm i 2018 eller 2019. Bevares - jeg ville ikke have haft den ringeste viden om at avle #mink, men det ville ikke ændre på, at jeg ville være blevet pænt belønnet af alle jer andre, for at lukke min forretning 🥳

Frostfang memories 💗 when she was on bed rest for an injured ACL. This was a mink who arrived hating to be touched, from a mystery exotics market background, illegally sold as a ferret, no teeth, and a tail shortened by 1/4 - 1/5 or so.
