Hello, hello Ferret Folk! Are your ferrets changing color for winter? Mine are changing and lightening radically this year. (Not to mention getting the huge-est coats.) I suppose it is from going outside at will. Little Lucy used to look like one of the famous well-bred black ferrets -- black w/ a white muzzle -- and muscle'y beyond belief! Well, she is still built like a little fire hydrant, but she is now a sable with a v dark mask! Artie, the Big Grey Guy, is almost white. Same for Eric, who used to be light tan w/ a white lightning bolt stripe down his face.Wicked dear little chocolate LIly has a white face now. And Ada, the blue-eyed white, has lost all of her golden hints. On the other hand, the sables have added a lot of gold and red as they have lightened in color. Even RrRrroBert whom I always used to call my black sable! Happy Holidays! [Posted in FML 5461]
