In a dark warren, eyes dont count

Be interesting to see how you get on working her as stealthy says in a warren it shouldn't matter but she might be slow feeling her way round unfamiliar places

Normally if an animal loses one sense, it highly develops one of its others, like its sense of smell

I had a blind terrier a few yrs ago,he went blind at 8-9 yrs old,he loved bushing,went through all the runs and ran round the fields scenting up like he could see still,so i'd say a ferret would be fine.

i have read in ferret books that ferrets are partly blind anyway an as stealthy say because it carnt see then it realiese on smell more so i would imagine it to be a good work

Give her a go mate you have got nothing to lose ferrets eye sight is very bad anyway

they hunt on smell good luck with her

A friend of mine had a blind albino hob & he was spot on.She'll get to know your voice & smell,plenty of handling & social time she'll be as good as any normal fert.
