I have just rescued two ferrets. One has a blue tattoo in his left ear
that I do not recognize. It is one dot, but then it has a little dash
off to the right of the dot. The dash might just be the result of a bad
tat job. I can't tell if the dash was intentional or not. This is not a
double dot Marshall tat which would have been in the ferret's right ear.
It is not a Triple F tat which would have been pink. Path Valley doesn't
do any tattoos. He is a very gentle chocolate sable ferret and was
probably bred for excellent temperament and color. The ferret that was
found with him has no tattoos; is wilder, bites occasionally and does not
like to be held for any length of time.
Does anyone have any idea what breeder would put a dot and (possibly) a
dash next to the dot, in the ferret's left ear? I am curious to know
what breeder he came from.
Thank you
Pam
