shabadoodoo 16 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I've got a polecat kit with dark red eyes, just wondered if anyone else has come across one as it the first one I've seen Quote Link to post
Kay 3,709 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Its what they call a mitt, basically any colour ferret other than albino can throw the red eyes, theres usually some white points on the ferrets as well, top of the head, insides of the back legs , feet or the odd toe, its very common & some ferrets shw the deep ruby red eyes more than others Quote Link to post

Tug 168 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Albino's don't have red eyes, but the lack of pigment (main definition of albinism is a lack of pigmentation, hence the white coat) means you can see the colour of the blood vessels behind the eye. Most ferrets have eyes that appear a deep ruby red in certain light, it's the same blood vessels that seem darker because they are viewed through pigmented eyes. 1 Quote Link to post
