[Scuzy 1]

Hi,

 

I was just wondering, are there any differences between polecat ferrets and albino ones? Personalities, Physical ability etc....?

well personally i prefer albinos , in my experience i have found them to be gentle ferrets , i have had some pretty snappy poleys, maybe just me , but there you go

No earthly differance what so ever, mate. Poleys may appear to have somewhat broader heads than albino's. But that's just an optical illusion caused by their colouration and markings. I should know; I've skinned enough of them (Did a bit of Taxidermy in my time )

 

But character wise, etc? A ferret's a ferret's a ferret. All down to how they're reared from the start and, to a lesser degree, treated later

In my opinion there's no difference but its always handy to have a albino when working a lot of cover

I personally cant see there being much difference

 

Prefer albinos though as they are much easier to see

I don't think there is any real difference, just looks. I like poly's to me they look right. I however have white boys now and they're great. I might aquire a little poly jill and see what I get, but I don't think there is any real difference, other than appearance.

I think it comes down to preference

I have poleys and i dont work much thick covr anyway and they do the job fine,..But i would like one or two Albinos in the future!

Im with dittchy, but I hand reared a litter this year, albinos poleys mixed and they have all turned out very nippy, dont know if this is because the think ever time they see a hand they think food, any one else had the same experience

[Guest Ditch_Shitter]

Might depend on what ye did to make ye choose such a term as " Hand Reared ", John. What; As in bottle fed? Not clear what ye getting at there, mate.

 

Regards the hands now; You sure they're not smelling food?

 

More things occur to me, but I don't want to bog us down here.
