Luke 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 Quote Link to post
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 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 Quote Link to post
Guest Magwitch Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 In my opinion there's no difference but its always handy to have a albino when working a lot of cover Quote Link to post
Hob&Jill 258 Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 I personally cant see there being much difference Prefer albinos though as they are much easier to see Quote Link to post
ianrob 2 Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 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. Quote Link to post
Kay 3,709 Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 I think it comes down to preference Quote Link to post

john hubery 9 Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 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 Quote Link to post
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 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. Quote Link to post
Guest Bigbob Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Im off the opion theres no differnce there all the same under the jacket theres workers and non workers in every colour ,i prefer albino's because i can see them its the same with sandies i cant pick them out with all the dead grass Quote Link to post
