nessie122 0 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) Hi, Does anyone have any pictures of their Black Eyed Whites? im not talking about the light coloured silvers that sometimes get called BEW's - but true BEW's. Also in general do they make good workers? Cheers Edited October 28, 2010 by nessie122 Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 a picture of a true BEW, will look no different than a picture of a MOULTED OUT silver, thats why they get mistaken for one and the same. a ferret,is a ferret, colours dont come into "how good" they work Quote Link to post
deanflute 550 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 A true black eyed white isn't an Albino without red eyes! An Albino is a Ferret without colour pigmantation and their coat is usually yellowish not white. A black eyed white has the colour pigmant gene allowing it to have the white coat and the black eyes Quote Link to post
max abell 196 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 As above we have 11 ferrets of all colours and eye colours and the colour has nothing what so ever to do with working ability if you want good workers breed or buy from proven good workers even thats not 100% gauranteed but you have a much better chance of getting good workers this way than looking at the colour Quote Link to post
nessie122 0 Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Dont want this turning into a discussion about colours not making a difference to the working ability of a ferret, I simply like the look of Black Eyed White ferrets & want to see a few pictures from the members that own BEW. I was asking the question about the working ability because I have read on here that some of the rarer colour mutations were bred for colour & were'nt as good workers, Anyway back to the toipic, out if interest, does anyone have any pictures of their BEW's?

Cheers It's interesting how sometimes you get silver kits in the same litter as polecats etc and then folk say that the polecat must be the better worker as the silver was bred just for color. Polecat etc ferrets can carry the silver gene or BEW gene. Edited October 28, 2010 by Ideation Quote Link to post
