RE: [Ferret-Genetics] Re: Dark-eyed White vs. Albino
Ok Bill, I take an Albino ferret to mean
it has no colour whatsoever and when I breed it to another Albino I only get
pure white ferret kits. But I have used
red eyed (not pink) Albino in a mating with a pink eyed Albino which produced
some coloured kits (sandy). That is why I though that the red eyed Albinos were
carrying some colour genes in their makeup.Chris.
