Took some doing to get the hob into the burrow, but we got there in the end. and it produced somee real wick brindle looking ferrets... Quote Link to post

Brimmer 220 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Runforyourlife, is that a few cornish words in your posts! Quote Link to post
twiggy 12 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 over here albinos are called greyhounds and sandys are called cinnamons thats the way its been for years. Quote Link to post
sambo123 594 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 It's a myth. Theres no myth about it, It is what me and the other fella said, A different term for albino It's not a term for an albino ferret at all lol. A greyhound ferret is supposed to be a thinner, more mobile and athletic strain of ferret. These agile ferrets do exist but i dont think they are that much different from normal ferrets that they need a different name to categorise them. It's nothing to do with the colour. Obviously ferrets have different qualities about them,but a ferrets a ferret. Quote Link to post
twiggy 12 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 we call all albinos greyhounds no mater there size Quote Link to post
amroth29 0 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 when i was young greyhound ferrets were the ones that reared and fed their ferrets bread and milk by their owners and as a result were thin and runty ,they looked greyhoundy but came with all sorts of problems , lak of staminer and problems when bred from .
