Hi John-- Hagen is a big distributer of ferrets in Canada, and has its ferrets tattooed with a blue-ish H in one ear (the left, I think)-- maybe that's what you're seeing in both your ferrets. Also the males get a Y in the other ear and the females an X, although those tattoos tend to fade more quickly than the H. My ferret Amelia, a Hagen ferret (and also deaf!), still has her H at four years but the X is only visible if you know it's there to begin with. Hope this was helpful...
