black ferrets

[wullieh 53]

Not black selfs but pretty dark.

 

 

 

Lovely looking . Proper little chaps .Could easily pass them off as young wildies . Do you expect them to lighten-up in the under fur and facial department as they grow older ? you can sort of see the mask there and what lovely long sleek tails .Bottom one loks like he's wearing brylcream .

thats the darkest poley ive seen nice ferret mate

yes nice ferrets but dont you think the mask helps give charector to each of them and hels you know who is who, as if they were all totally black at a glance it be harder to tell who is who just like albinos.

You should be able to tell the difference between 2 ferrets that look alike by handling them they all feel different

That is why i said at a glance.

are these black ones crossed with mink then i just rang a lad with black ferrets he said the father is a mink and the mother is a ferret hes wanting 40 quid each cheers

you lot know f**k all about ferrets if you think blacks don't exist

 

 

Got any pix?

dunno why by something tells me he wont have any

 

It comes close to an apology, but alas the ferret in you pic has pink lips, so my quest will have to carry on for an all black creature

Everytime I ask to see a pic of a black ferret, I get blanked, wonder why

I'm afraid stealthy you may have to appologise to "Kevin from Bristol " (come on down ). Not only has Romany come pretty close but I've unearthed an historical document that indicates that in the past at least black ferrets did exist ..

I found it secreted in my mother's drawers with her old Wembley Lions speedway programmes

and three bottles of absinthe!.

 

 

The ferret in you pic comes close to a black ferret, but alas, your ferret has pink lips, so my apology will have to wait unitl another day

no such thing as a pure black ferret

 

Good job too, seems there's enough folk into ferrets for the £££££ now as it is..

i have seen black ferrets advertised for £50 they are crossed with wild polecats apparently

[ferretertom 7]

I have 2 pure polecat hob kits realy mussley to touch and theyl nip you hard if not handled alot from young they take more time than a ferret would handleing wise.

Some of them act different to ferrets stay in the dark compartement of a hutch away from people but these i have arnt like that atall.

Then theres the jills there 1st crosses ones darker than the other but have a very faint mask slowly apearing.

A good mate of mine has a 1st cross mink he brought off some bloke its realy dark smaller than most ferrets and it works well but a strong thing and it does kill.

I own a jill that he gave me last year which is the minkx grandaughter its basicly the same as a silver mitt ferret just slightly smaller very tame you wouldnt know the difference.

Its not a good idea to cross a mink with a ferret imo as there is a chance from the mink thats here in uk that they have allutians disease that they can carry with out being affected for some time i belive but it would wipe out your ferrets.

I know this is an old post. I would like to say that I own 3/4 wild polecat hob and he is as tame as any ferret i have owned. I also have a 3/4 wild jill that is totally different in temperment from the hob she very shy and resents handling. Goes to show all animals are different.

just wondered if any one has had black ferrets ? ive got 3 what appear to be pure black ferrets dont have masks there only kits but time will tell just wondered if anyone has heard of this

black ferrets have b een around for a good while,the first ones i ever seen were at rufford game fair lancs in 1991, and i can assure you they were the closest thing to mink ive ever seen, the lad who had them was from wales,somebody mentioned that they were similar to the wild welsh polecats, always regretted never getting one as the lad was selling kits at the time,thanks for starting an intresting topic.

i wonder if the grand was claimed for a pure black ferret

 

i've never heard of mink x ferret and to be honest i understand each animal is different but i'm more then happy with my fezzers so why look any further, but thats just me..

They meant European Polecat, which is just a wild polecat.
