Hello Luciana,
It doesn't not sound like it is anything you are doing incorrectly. I assum=
e they are not being overly exposed to bright lights or sunlight without ha=
ving a dark place to go to?
If they came from the dog shelter, one or the other may have experienced an=
eye injury or had a nutritionally deficient diet before you adopted them.
The only thing you can do is continue to care for and love them as you have=
; accept their disability and continue seeking veterinary care to ensure th=
eir good health.
Even with cataracts in both eyes, which they may develop, ferrets can navig=
ate very well in familiar environments since they depend mostly on their se=
nse of smell for navigation.
