Here are the rest of my questions. How do you know a female is fully in heat,
when is the best time to breed? I had a female donated to me and she's already
in heat. I also have a male that appears to be in season. Should I let them get
together or wait or what? Next question-The female is an albino, the male is a
sable. Every kit in the male's litter was sable along with the dam. (Is that
the correct term for ferrets?) I don't know the color of the father (sire?). Is
it a pretty good guess that the kits from this cross will be sable
(heterogenous sables)? Does anyone know the genetics of color inheritence in
the ferret? How common is false pregnancy? Any pointers on breeding would be
appreciated. Thanks.
