I am neutral on the idea of establishing characteristics for ferret breeds, but I have noticed that there appears to be at least two coat types -soft and wirey. Right now, of my seven, four are the stiffer wirey type, and three have thick, soft fur. Also, I would love to hear from more angora ferret owners regarding their health, habits, temperament, size and colors. P.S. - Could someone please elaborate on what a "Demi-giga" is ... thanks.
