At least for one petstore I visit, the reverse of what some people are saying is true. They get a 'variety' shipment of ferrets, and I was poking a silver mit girl. "Gosh" I say, "She's probably gonna be the first one to go." One of the petstore ferret folks (probably the best place I've ever SEEN for caring for ferrets in a petstore) said, "No, not at all. She'll probably be one of the last. People here seem to prefer 'ferret' looking ferrets. Now, the albinos, we have to mark down because they always go last. People hate the eyes." So, at least there, it's sables, fancy browns, fancy silvers and badgers and blazes, DEWS, then albinos. The paler the ferret, the slower it goes. Why DON'T people like albinos? I think they're cute!
