I know many hybrids and non are pitch black, most you wouldn't even know they where from looking at them at all.

[danman 27]

Hello all. I kept pure EU poleys and bred a litter of hybrids. Both are far more active and alert than ferrets. They also take more handling as kits and to keep them tame. Their eye sight is much better as well. They used to sit and watch birds fly over while the ferrets didn't have a clue. The problem I had with the pure's was that theywere too easily spooked to work and would have skulked. Answer - hybrid. Unfortunately some disease went through my hutches and wiped the pures and hybrids out but not the ferrets before I got a chance to work the hybrids.

OK so are you saying your ferrets were immune to a disease that wiped your pure and hybrids out?

Hybrids now you can x canaries with finches,horses with donkeys easily enough, but their offspring are known as mules and are infertile and cant be bred from

Many have made claims on here and other sites to owning these mystical X's wether Euro polecat or even mink X's but I have yet to see one that does nt actually look like anything other than a ferret in looks or shape? Someone must of got one that actually looks like the European polecat or the mink
