Is it painfull or dangerous for an albino ferret to be out in the sun? Are there longterm problems from it? I tend to take him to the playground a few times a week to dig and run. Should I just keep him inside?

The less pigment you have in your eyes, the lighter your eye color is, the more prone you are to have Photophobia. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001479.htm
