I have just rescued two ferrets. One has a blue tattoo in his left ear that I do not recognize. It is one dot, but then it has a little dash off to the right of the dot. The dash might just be the result of a bad tat job. I can't tell if the dash was intentional or not. This is not a double dot Marshall tat which would have been in the ferret's right ear. It is not a Triple F tat which would have been pink. Path Valley doesn't do any tattoos. He is a very gentle chocolate sable ferret and was probably bred for excellent temperament and color. The ferret that was found with him has no tattoos; is wilder, bites occasionally and does not like to be held for any length of time. Does anyone have any idea what breeder would put a dot and (possibly) a dash next to the dot, in the ferret's left ear? I am curious to know what breeder he came from.
