Does anyone know if a red dot in a ferret's right ear means they have been neutered/spayed? Sandee Mozzone, the Delaware County Ferret Shelter owner, found identical red dots in the ears of the two sable babies that were found together around here a few weeks ago. She has been keeping them to work on their nipping, but mostly to be sure they are fixed. Since both have the mark, she is wondering if anyone knows of a breeder (maybe in the Phila area) who uses a red tattoo. BTW, she now also has a third sable baby who was abandoned in a nice cage covered by a blanket. She was left at a local high school, but on a weekend. The creeps. It's still quite cold here, especially at night. Anyone want a nice baby? Please contact me, and I will pass the info on. Judith [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 1519]
