Hello there! I have a litter of 7 kits, now almost 7 weeks old. I'm absolutly unsure what to call there color! They are black and have a white face/nose with...
They are beautiful! Too bad you are not in the United States...I wouldn't mind having one! I have no idea what color to call them.... ... From: "willowfrett"...
They really are. They look to me mostly like they are hyperpigmented. White muzzles are pretty normal. I'd never thought about it but I have to wonder if...
Hi! Thank you! So you also have no idea what to write in the pedigree? I don't want to be a "creator" of one of those new fancy color-names ;-) They are not as...
Sina, All you need to do is write down after color on the Pedigree: Sable. This describes the color. As they are still young the pattern will probably change. ...
I could not tell from the photos if there actually is a blaze or if that is a reflection from the lighting. Also, I would like to know the same about some...
Marie, The examples you showed for the Hooded Sable, in the US are considered a Black Sable. A hooded Sable does not nessisarily have to have a Full hood. They...
Hello and thanks for your research! One has, like Debie noticed, those white spots on his head - I called him a "spotted badger" because he has not a real...
Genetically, though, if there are actual white head markings on those foreheads or head-tops (instead of just reflections or a light undercoat showing where...
Sina, There is also a pattern or a non pattern called a MUTT. A Mutt does not conform to any particular pattern standard. I also have a few ferrets that have a...
In my mind there is NO ideal for ferrets who show markings that can be neural crest genetic variants. They are just too prone to serious health and longevity...

Hi ! I want to make a homepage for ferrets owner in Denmark, Norway and Sweden about ferrets and genetics, where ferret petowner and breeders can go to if...

I know that after the early announcement about a PLOS Bio article one of the addies tends to work long-time but the other does not, so I will give both URLs: ...
This is also useful info from a ferret genetics standpoint. ... -- Sukie (not a vet, and not speaking for any of the below in my private posts) Recommended...
A must-read article in the NY Times. Hopefully, people can get it if they go there fast enough. If not, there are always off-shoot reports elsewhere when the...

... My misspeaking, of course. It is epigenetics. Took me a while for it to hit me what I'd done... At least my memory finally kicked in and kicked me....
Hi, i found these article with info about under nutrition associated with disproportionate large reductions in the growth of some fetal organs and tissues like...
Cool! I will look it up and see if I can find it. Hopefully, the little ones do not have Primary Pituitary Dwarfism because that does reduce life spans, bieng...
BTW, yes, I know that this fetal effect is not the same as Primary Pituitary Dwarfism. I just got ahead of my typing and expressed myself badly... ... --...
BTW, I ran into this tonight. Not genetic, but it explains why proportional dwarves are no longer called midgets. It was a term that came into use during the...
