>From: Mary Sennwald <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: Colour Changes Your Loki has several genetic things going on. Waardenburg, roaning, black mitt, and chocolate or sable. Expect lots of color and pattern changes over the years. Sometimes those ferrets with these genes match a "defined" standard pattern.
