Crow 1 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) would crossing a black eyed white to another, give you all black eyed white kits? Almost certainly not! It also carries a risk. You're best to mate a BEW with an albino (which still carries risks, but they are reduced in probability) and cross your fingers for a BEW kit! Edited May 29, 2008 by Crow Quote Link to post
Guest friedrice Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 done a bit of scouring the net, and a few of the americans who write all that crap about ferrets that the pet keepers get there hands on and then start quoting, do say that a BLACK EYED WHITE, which they class as a DARK EYED WHITE, is in fact a silver, that has moulted out the silver guard hairs, I to have always thought, that BEW's dont really exist as a colour, just SILVERS, I have two silver jills, that in their winter coats, could easily be classed as BEW's well stubs i think your right on this one mate. from the day i posted that post ive read books about ferrets,genetics l spent hours on the web and all i can say is there aint no thing as a pure black eyed white ferret. my one is pure white with black eyes,but is a light silver showing no dark hair at all,and myselfe and many more would think they are indeed b.e.w's. geneticly i couldent have one in my line,just a one off, thats all Quote Link to post
Guest friedrice Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I've said all I'm going to regarding the genetics of DEWs and Silvers on another thread. I might be wrong, but I think friedrice had some input into that thread.... i dont think i did droid,cant recall talking about bew's before Quote Link to post
