Hi John--
Hagen is a big distributer of ferrets in Canada, and has its ferrets
tattooed with a blue-ish H in one ear (the left, I think)-- maybe that's
what you're seeing in both your ferrets.  Also the males get a Y in the
other ear and the females an X, although those tattoos tend to fade more
quickly than the H.  My ferret Amelia, a Hagen ferret (and also deaf!),
still has her H at four years but the X is only visible if you know it's
there to begin with.  Hope this was helpful...
