Recently, there have been kits born here in the US with bright blue and green eyes. This is not a color due to light reflecting off the eye, but an actual blue or green eye iris, with the black pupil visible in the middle. I know that ferrets with odd colored eyes have been in Europe for a while. Cherry Ferrets used to have a number of pictures of some of their breeder ferrets who had these odd colored eyes up on their website. I have also been told that Soren Thingaard was also breeding ferrets with odd eye colors. My question is primarily for European members of the list. Since these odd eye colors seem to have been in some European lines longer then here in the US, has anyone seen these ferrets, and do they have any particular health problems associated with the odd eye color? The eye color may be purely cosmetic, and not be an indicator of a genetic fault associated with a health problem. On the other hand, there may be a relationship between some health concern and the odd eye color. When the first pandas and blazes appeared, many of them were hearing and did not display neural crest disorder problems. But, as people started to breed to produce these color patterns, the neural crest disorders started to appear. I am not asking this question to point fingers or lay blame. I am simply trying to find out what has happened to the ferrets with odd eye colors as they have aged, and also what has happened to any additional generations of them that have occurred. I do know that at least one US ferret organization has taken the stand that the odd eye color is not standard, and is not something people should be trying to reproduce. But, I am very interested in finding out if it is a sign of some more serious genetic problem. Danee DeVore ADV - If your ferret hasn't been tested, you don't know!
