Tell me, Oh Guru to the Masses, the answer to these preponderances:
1. Is there such thing as a "ferret season?" I saw my first ferret last
June in a petstore in Reno. When my friend returned to Reno in July, there
were none to be found in any of the petstores. Is there a specific breeding
period for ferrets, or can they perpetually breed, give birth, breed, etc?
The reason this question came about is that my friend and I are going to
Reno for my birthday to get a "fuzzy fix," and wondered if there would be
any ferrets to play with. If not, then I'll just have to find a cute
bartender....
2. >However, some studies suggest domesticated ferrets have lost
>the ability to see the blues, so all the color they see are the reds.
Does this mean that a ferret's vision is not shades of grey, but shades of
red? Sort of like looking through rose colored glasses (for lack of a
better analogy)?
3. I saw my first illustration of a stoat while rummaging through the
Biology library at work. The reason I picked up the journal (New Zealand
Zoological... something) was because I thought the illustration was of a
ferret. I've also heard people on the FML say that they have had stoats
turned in to them. What's the difference between a stoat and a ferret?
Thanks,
Irinia
