>From: David and Serena <[log in to unmask]>
>Subject: Ferret names and colors
Did I hear someone call?
>we have two fuzzies, Calliope and Zen. I was also wondering if someone
>could help me figure out what color-types these guys are.
I just had to notice that name...
>Calliope has cream colored underfur, and dark brown guard hair. On her
>stomach and legs, however, she has white guard hair as well. She also has
>a throat patch and four white feet.
Dark brown? Like black coffee or like a chocolate bar. That would mean
sable or chocolate. The white guard hairs on the stomach and legs could
be roaning. The throat patch is a bib. The white feet are mitts. Are
there white spots on the rear knees? Anything on the back of the head?
Probably Calliope is a Sable Mitt. (or a Chocolate Mitt)
>Zen is mostly white with very little mask(mostly just a bit of grey around
>his eyes and a dark spot on top of his head). He has a smattering of black
>guard hair all down his back; his belly and throat are a cream color and he
>also has four white feet.
Dark eyed white pattern. (also called a light silver)

CDV can be airborne. An open window could be enough. I strongly urge you
get Rikki vaccinated. Although Fervac-D is the only tested vaccine if you
can not get that try to get Galaxy-D. It might not work having never
been proven but it would have to be better than trying nothing.

Try the plastic shoe boxes you can get at the various "$1" type stores.
Thats what we use for the carriers when we travel to shows.
