Beastmaster1980 40 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Might sound daft but how is a silver ferret produced from a breeding? Is it just albino x polecat or is there a silver gene carried & where does it come from? Quote Link to post
gnipper 6,267 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 There's a silver gene and it's meant to be like merle where you can't breed 2 silvers together otherwise you end up with deformed kits. Quote Link to post
onthehunt 40 Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Any colour of ferret can carry silver and pass onto the kits Quote Link to post

But to us old boys with the different silvers light to dark it allows us to see different ferrets working away at a warren with out standing over it picking them up Quote Link to post
