Hi All!
To: Dan, in response to your letter on Black Eyed Whites.
I have read that they are very comman in Australia and Europe, being as
comman as our Sables are here,  Your right though, I haven't seen to many in
the Pet Shops. I have a Male Black-Eyed White (Patern)
There is a difference, and I have just found out what to call him a little
while ago. On AOL there are a bunch of very nice people who meet on Saterday
nights to discuss Ferrets and really not much else, We Love to Ferret Chat.
Any way I found out through someone in there that that is what color he is.
He is qwite an Odd ball, He is almost all white, He has a few grey guard
hairs on his back and rump, But has One black leg with a white foot.(And that
is what is meant by PATERN)  He was out of a Male Silver Sable and a female
Black eyed white, who also has a few grey guard hairs, Where His black leg
came from I don't know,  So I decided to keep him,  Named him "Zipper".
As a suggestion, E-Mail me and tell me where you live, maybe I could hunt
down a private Breeder, or find someone who would know of one in your area.
Or Maybe ask someone in here.
You said you aren't able to afford another one rate now, But as a thought,
Private breeders are much cheaper then pet stores, and you can usually see
where and from who your New Kit comes from, So you will have an idea of the
care and quality of wich he was raised.
Pet stores usually get theirs from Mass producing Ferret Ranches,
Not all are bad but there are alot of concerns surrounding the Health and
temperament of these mass produced Fuzzies. Check around, Take your time,
Find a good breeder, Black-Eyed whites aren't that rare, Uncomman, But not
Rare, Usually passed over for the Cute raccoon faced Sables, wich are
Dominant Genetically.
But I think you would do best in finding a breeder and buying directly from
them.  Hope I was of some help, if you have any other questions E-Mail me any
time I would love to help, I live for Ferret stuff! :-)
