Frolicking Ferrets 33 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Why a DEW? Why not an albino? Or a light silver? Since light silvers usually turn DEW. Dunno if one of my pairings for this year with throw DEWs or not, I'm assuming not though since its albino to albino but it's possible there maybe 1 or 2 in that litter.

The characteristic for albinism is carried by a recessive gene, so if you mate two pure pink eyed albinos you get nothing but albino kits 4 Quote Link to post
vfr400boy 3,435 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Am putting my black eyed white ( good worker ) over an albino Jill when I did same mating 2 years ago I got albino and black eye white am in East Yorkshire Quote Link to post
Aussie Whip 4,109 Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 I've had bad luck with black eyed whites.All the ones I've had were very intelligent,but played up when working and were bad biters if got upset by something. Quote Link to post
Sirblessed 2,511 Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 All my best ferrets have been BEW funny thing is I dont own one atm, I will be breeding from a mates this year. Some strains have a tendency to be deaf so check before you buy. Quote Link to post

Though I didn't expect polecat coloured kits when I put my light silver to my other albino hob last year, even though the parents to the light silver jill are albino to dew. Quote Link to post

All silvers have polecat in their breeding....dark guard hairs/dark eyes from the poley on a white ferret,you have a silver. Quote Link to post
