Subject: Re: [Ferret-Health-list] Orange fur
Re; your albino coat turning orange - I wouldn't mind an answer too. We have an albino and a black eyed white - both are starting to display orange
in their coats. also our silver mitt has a bit too. The sables - i can't tell cause their tails are brown but maybe they are too. so....... any
ideas anyone?
