I've had many albinos (or ruby-eyed whites) through the years and never had one that was deaf. My very first (ruby-eyed whites) came from one of my very own litters from Sable and Butterscotch parents. 7 of 12 kits were ruby-eyed whites. The first litter from these same parents were all sables. When I bred one of the ruby-eyed white daughters, she produced all sable kits. I've had 3 blazes and all had perfect hearing. The two boys though were not as healthy as my other ferrets. Nancy's female blaze appears to be healthy. Hugs to all. tle [Posted in FML issue 2574]
