I hate to see someone suffering a lack of response, but I'm really not
qualified to answer. However, opinions are cheap so here's a few
unqualified ones...
>I am sooooo clueless about my Elrond and I would be so grateful for any
>help. He is all white with a light sprinkle of black on his rear end and
>his eyes look black but they are really a blue/red. Is he albino or
>black-eyed white??
We have a red eyed white, sometimes referred to as albino, and the eyse are
a definite pink/red. We also have a "grey" male who has black eyes and
nose, is mostly white hair but has a few black hairs mixed in down his back
and top of his head. Your sounds like it might be a black eyed white as
opposed to a red eyed white. We call ours "the great grey whale" and don't
worry too much about what his official designation might be ;)
>Also, he has stains on his teeth (permanent) that he was born with. Why??
No idea..
>One last thing, he is completely tail-less. Did his mom chew it off? Was
>he born that way? Please Help!! No idea..
>By the way, Two of my ferrets, Raistlin and Mordred, came with tattoos on

... and there's a high probability that they came from Marshall farms like
four of ours. Marshall farms uses the tattoos so they know which ones have
been altered. However, I seem to recall some earlier posts about other
breeders occasionally using tattoos, so nothing is certain.
>Melanie- my Raistlin gets hiccups about once a week. Usually after playing
So do ours from time to time. One of them after getting into the foam at
the bottom of my Guiness glass the other night ;)
Maybe someone else will offer some opinions. Anyway, please don't feel too
ignored. I think most of us don't like to answer a post unless we feel
confident about our information.
