I read that Mish was expecting health problems because her ferret is an
albino. The fact is that albino was the original coloring of ferrets.
It is not the same has the albinism trait in other animals. Albinoes and
Sables tend to be the healthiest ferrets in my experience. The sle color
was introduced into ferrets through cross breeding with wild polecats of
a couple varieties. Don't worry at all about an albino being unhealthy
for that reason.
But regarding the agressiveness... If your ferret is blind or partially
blind it could affect her personality. And the breeding does play a
part. I have some ferrets with more agressive temperaments because some
breeders don't play much attention.
